wait i thought ulysses was the incomprehensible pile of garbage. is there anything this guy wrote that wasnt toilet paper??

what no lol it's pretty easy bud there's a jerk off scene and a funny cyclops scene where an irish nationalist gets all riled up about a jew and a nightclub scene where they all get drunk and rowdy and a catechism scene, it's all pretty easy to read and makes plenty of sense

This.

I don't remember which one it was (I think Finnegan's Wake?) but Joyce also had some kind of lovely self insert proto-Mary Sue character in it.

portrait of the artist is entirely about his mary sue, and the same char (stephen dedalus) functions as the telemachus stand-in in ulysses

I took an entire college course on this rear end in a top hat. We went over every deeper meaning possible, learned about the state of Ireland at the tine, etc. Joyce's works are still dense joyless slogs. Those letters are the only entertaining thing he ever wrote

what are you loving talking about joyless do you have no sense of humor ?

Can you loving imagine the aneurysms and strokes people who read the first printing of Ulysses experienced when they were still huffing dickens and melville.

melville is funny as gently caress too, he describes the butcher wearing the whale's dickskin as a priest in a cassock

ishmael tells the spanish sailors to go get a bible, he'll swear on it to the truth of everything he says

i'm giggling right now thinking about it
