My professor started Ulysses 5 times and never finished it.
He's not an english professor thought.
Did anyone here ever finish that ?

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 27 06:13:57 2019 No.12672231 Yes — I’ve read it twice. It’s important to read it with secondariy literature (try bloomsday) or the Joyce podcast.

Guys, lets stop pretending that James Joyce was a good writer. The whole point of writing is to be comprehensible, and he actively strove against that. And the works he did write which were comprehensible (Dubliners, Portrait of an Artist), were the dullest things I ever read.

I'm convinced that he dedicated himself to an incomprehensible style precisely because he understood the core of his work was boring and hollow.
