I think authorial intent was lost with Joyce's death, intentionally.
But people have written about it. If I ever get around to reading it, at least in part, I think I'll be getting pictured, to go along with it.

You'd probably have to know ten languages and have lived inside Joyce's brain. I don't think anyone alive could imaginably "fully" understand it, whatever that means.

But people on here have certainly gotten things out of it, which is the point, not to "fully understand" it.
