Joyce is completely in the right. Yeats is just blowing faggoty academic romanticism garbage in Joyce's face. And Joyces btfos him completely. You have to remember that Joyce admired Shakespeare above pretty much anything, and Shakespeare was not an academically driven artist. Shakespeare did not generalize humanity into cartoonish caricatures of itself, he believed in the individual souls of everybody.

This is notoriously one of the worst well known sci-fi books of all time. The fact that it got an award was a huge meme back in the day and triggered a lot of people. And then it was all spaghetti'd up because a lot of people misinterpreted the criticism into being just a reactionary bias against fascism, when in fact the novel just fails to be a fucking decent novel on a technical standpoint, fascism or not.

The characters are non-entities, nothing happens except just a bunch of political ideology being spouted in a fucking bootcamp. There is no forward pace, the prose is cardboard. It SUCKS.


The movie is great because it's a perfect parody of the source material, while at the same time doing what the source material should have done in the first place. More bug killing and human comradery.
