Abstract
In a work of fiction, we don’t always encounter the contingent in obvious ways. The story is usually told in a way such that interdependencies of events can be easily overlooked. The distinction of contingent events might be taken for granted; however, in Joyce’s Ulysses we see an examination of contingency in which the reader is continuously invited to participate. Interpretations of the concept of truth usually indicate a determination by community consensus. The need for an audience to assent to any truth in a fictional work has been identified by most modernist readings of literature, but there is a penumbra, not well---defined, where the author’s intention and the assent of his actual audience intersect—in Ulysses, contingencies of language and of plot might help us to identify these intersections of authorial intent and reader assent.
