Joyceplebs:
"Wow, Ulysses has so many references, it MUST be deep"

Woolfgods:
Oh, you like reading too? What’s that, a Joyce novel? I bet you’re a real bibliophile. I bet you spend minutes every day “reading” whatever "doorstopper" was just recommended to you by Emily in Sales Planning. I bet your idea of purchasing art is picking up a copy of Water Lillies at Bed Bath & Beyond.

Let me make one thing abundantly clear. Unlike you, I do not love looking at references to greater works than the one I'm currently reading. I do not love sucking some Irish hack's cock, while it gets harder and harder until I can no longer hear Woolf's desperate cries for a literate, caring society over Joyce's moans of ecstacy. But you certainly don’t have to take her word for it, you fucking pleb.

Woolf and Joyce are my two favourite novelists; it's possible to like them both, in fact they're very similar.

I actually love V-Woolf and she is my lit waifu.

But for me Literature is about chasing beauty, not just fucking tingles.

She ended up killing herself, maybe if she didn't try to find salvation in a book buzz she could have seen that its okay for people to strive for something more than themselves even if its futile.

I love Bowie, I even love his glam-rock phase, but I wouldn't go as far and call him a "glam rock outfit". He spans a broad range of rock-subgenres, why needlessly narrow it down to one? Can you honestly listen to a song like "the secret life of arabia" and say "yup that's glamrock"?

Are you kidding me, I always thought Woolf was one of the most attractive authors, nay, people, I've ever seen.

Look at them waif-like features. She could have been a fashion model in the late 90s.

Granted there's tons of derivative and boring shoegaze, but you should listen to more shit, try the goslings or skywave, if you like twee check out rocketship, if you like metal listen to the angelic process, Jesu, coaltar of the deepers, planning for burial. The genre is expansive as hell and you should check more shit out dude.

Ulysses is brilliant and I don't get half the references. It's filled with them but it is also pretty self-sufficient. Like in Simpsons when I was a kid I didn't get half of the political references, but I was able to laugh at them. I knew a joke was being made, and I limited myself to observing how the joke was being made, what sort of change of rhythm or flow it provoked in the episode or in the scene, what sort of impact it could have.

And if I didn't understand any of the jokes I could study the animation, the interplay between voices, the progressions in characters, the choices in music, the production behind it, etc.

>I finished Ulysses, & think it is a mis-fire. Genius it has I think; but of the inferior water. The book is diffuse. It is brackish. It is pretentious. It is underbred, not only in the obvious sense, but in the literary sense. A first rate writer, I mean, respects writing too much to be tricky; startling; doing stunts. I’m reminded all the time of some callow board [sic] schoolboy, say like Henry Lamb, full of wits & powers, but so self-conscious and egotistical that he loses his head, becomes extravagant, mannered, uproarious, ill at ease, makes kindly people feel sorry for him, & stern ones merely annoyed; & one hopes he’ll grow out of it; but as Joyce is 40 this scarcely seems likely. I have not read it carefully; & only once; & it is very obscure; so no doubt I have scamped the virtue of it more than is fair. I feel that myriads of tiny bullets pepper one & spatter one; but one does not get one deadly wound straight in the face--as from Tolstoy, for instance; but it is entirely absurd to compare him with Tolstoy.

She couldn't get over the fact that a crude little Irishman took stream of consciousness modernism to heights that she would never be able to approach.

I love both writers but it's always amusing to read her mental gymnastics about it and see how badly she was trying to downplay her annoyance over him completely outpacing her at her own game.
