At least read episode 15. It's hilarious. This whole book just shits in the face of literature

But it expects you to have read several works of literature beforehand

not really, he has knowledge of it but the reader doesnt have to know it to understand it doesnt take them seriously. people cant read the book without thinking of the critics who praise it as a genius work, while its just a farce full of pretentious references for the sake of it

Sad that you're hoping this is true. Fwiw if you read the annotations, the book becomes completely clear. It sucks to see the mystery go. The critics you think you're referring to don't exist, by the way. Nabokov who called it the greatest novel of the 20th century, his Yale lectures show that he only half read it.

Glad you're having fun, but Circe is more entertaining when you have a better idea of each character that pops up. It interlocks with the book perfectly. And it explains a lot of Bloom. Which Molly sort of cross references later, showing it to be true. Because there are references to things outside both Stephen's and Bloom's consciousness, Nabokov called the chapter the book's dream of itself. And the dream involves BDSM fisting.

So... Is pseudery a time-honoured tradition afterall?
Ulisses, the most talked about and the less read work of the 20 century.
Shame on you anglos, you claimed last giant is somewhat a forgery.

I mean, the lit references are to Dante, Milton, Shakespeare, Blake... I hope you would't call those obscure. Naturally the Bible as well, but also in Circe, Venus in Furs...

And sure, my postmodern doorstopper, currently in postproduction, features obscure references to Calvin & Hobbes, RAW, ZAP, and specific episodes of Jeopardy!.

Hardly talking about Ulysses. He must have skimmed everything up to this point. Chapter 9 lays out a 5d chess lit theory. Ch 1 literaly shits on a man who won an Olympic fucking medal for poetry (yes, the olympics used to do that until after WW2, and yes one country used to sweep the "arts" gold medals).

OP is a cringe pseud who doesn't know what's going on in fiction or reality.
