Starting one because I couldn't find another.

My stupid questions:

If I want to get into James Joyce, should I start with Ulysses or Finnegan's Wake?

If Ulysses, should I attempt to read Odyssey before it?

Joyce had an afro?

Read Joyce chronologically. Yes you need the Odyssey first, not just for the allusive tidbits but because if you haven’t read Homer yet I doubt you’re going to be able to read Joyce.

follow up q: should I read Iliad before Odyssey?
