Hello,
Q1: Is Ulyssess written in easy English? For easy English, I refer to whether it is easy for a non-native speaker whose English is so-so? Is the book big in volume?
Q2: what does " Indo- European dimensions" refer to?
Q3: What does "F^*-K-Totum" mean? (That's the four letter word, because it doesn't show)
Q4: Could you explain the words in blue? Does Hamlet refer to the hero in Shakespeare work? Why does " Hamlet spoit by man" mean those?
Thanks!

The following is cited from Change of Language by Paul W., a German-American professor.
James Joyce, the author of innumerable such condesations and contaminations must be mentioned here at least briefly; for instance, when in Ulysses he talks about syphilization instead of civilization, or when, in Finnegans Wakes, he leaves it up the reader to decide whether the expresson freudful mistakes means Freudian slip, freudvolle(joyful), frightful or fruitful errors. Or take Arno Schmidt, the German James Joyce, whose work- like Joyce's- Has Indo-European dimensions, referrring to somebody as F*-^K -Totum, or pretending to whether Hamlet spoit by man means "The Prince of Denmark, corrupted by mankind" or "One man ruins a small village".
