What a shit fucking writer. Why do people pretend this hack is good?
Read Dubliners & Portrait.First is complete dog shit and second is decent at best.

No, God and Christianity are good, while wanking is evil. That is a qualitative difference that cannot be overcome by any degree of writing ability.

The Wake is the greatest literary achievement of the last 300 years and Ulysses defines the postmodern genre. Joyce didn't write for smoothbrains like you, he wrote for barely literate Catholic peasants who, surprisingly, had a greater grasp of the canon than you

Meh he's 'good' I just hate reading him. I find him very boring through Ulysses. Try his poetry and Exiles though, people who hate his prose usually like that. Also read The Epicurean - Thomas Moore for some true Irish kino.

That'd be Gaddis, Joyce isn't as referential as people make him out to be. Academics do that to justify him being some unreadable classic, when it's really just a hollow linguistic experiment. Don't get me wrong, I hate reading Joyce, but do think there's something in there to make him 'good,' but not great.

This thread is depressing. Surely I can't be the only one here that enjoys reading Joyce? I mean, his prose is so beautifully written; his characters have such depth; the themes he deals with in his stories nuanced and complex; and the command of language he displays in Ulysses is nothing short of breathing-taking, for all the people wanting to take the piss out of it for eschewing established forms. I really want to believe the people baselessly criticizing him have simply never read his work and are just flinging shit for a laugh, but if that's the case, then this board's in an even sorrier state than I thought it was.
