If you don't like Joyce, you shouldn't be here. Period.

>> No.17242538

I like him, just not enough to read his work

>> No.17242540

I’d put Proust as the ultimate bugmen filter desu

>> No.17242629

Proust is soulless, Joyce had SOVL.
10 bucks say you haven't completed ISOLT.

>> No.17242844

Far too meretricious. Unconchable.

Have you even started ISOLT? Proust is full of soul.

That's a shame, since reading his work is one of the greatest pleasures I've had in life

What the fuck

>“He thought of how she who lay beside him had locked in her heart for so many years that image of her lover’s eyes when he had told her that he did not wish to live.
>Generous tears filled Gabriel’s eyes. He had never felt like that himself towards any woman, but he knew that such a feeling must be love.”

>“His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.”

No, you don't. You can't like Joyce, or anyone else for that matter, without wanting to read his work.

it’s a bit juvenile
he did write it when he was 23, though

Nobody reads here anymore. That includes reading Joyce

Literally the greatest short story ever written. The fact that he wrote at at 23 is damn impressive

You may have a point if he could actually finish his books. At this point The Winds of Winter is going to take as long to write as Finnegans Wake took Joyce

>> No.17244805

>>17242540
As someone who has read both Joyce's bibliography and ISOLT, I can assure you that Joyce is far superior in every way
