Ulysses vs Moby Dick

Which one of them is the greatest novel ever written?

That’s a hell of a comparison. Such different novels

Not really, they’re both modern-day retellings of the Odyssey and written in English. Pretty similar when you get down to it

They're the darlings of Veeky Forums

I haven't read Dick yet but I'm going to assume Ulysses just based off the fact that it's more ambitious. From what I've seen, it seems as great as Dick is it's still told as a traditional story ya? But just very well done. Like Anna Karenina? But Ulysses is an entirely different class. It tells the story but you live the story as well. Ulysses places you in first person view of the reality the protagonists are experiencing. And this is done to such an extent and with so much creativity and innovation that I have to imagine that it's unparalled. Moby Dick sounds to me like a very beautiful novel. Ulysses is something much more unique.

Whose done it better?

Philip K Dick liked cats but he never, as far as I know, had one called "Moby".
A missed opportunity, one feels.
