>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 24 03:35:07 2020 No.16642280 >>16642224 >>16642221 I genuinely feel bad for people who get filtered by Joyce. His writing is so beautiful, and he himself thought that any reader could get something out of and enjoy his work with enough effort

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 24 03:45:23 2020 No.16642310 >>16642280 I feel bad for people who think Joyce is literature. He's just an embellished meme like a cool chair while Dostoevsky and Melville are monumental.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 24 06:45:55 2020 No.16642746 Joyce is good, great, but not the very greatest. Not even of the 20th century. Ulysses and The Dead is really all he's got. And Ulysses isn't perfect.
