I'm also reading it now. Not a snoozefest. Just some stories are much better than others. I have liked A Little Cloud and A Painful Case most of all.

Reading Joyce as the mental decline (or ascension depending how you look at it) of a genius through his semi-autobiographical diary entries is my favourite desu

Wow. You absolute piece of garbage. Dubliners is as close to perfect writing as you can get.

>> No.10832807

imagine how mad he was that people didn't like Wake when he released it
or maybe he was just pretending to be mad and he knew it'd take decades to appreciate it properly, his final troll

This thras is so cringey. Holy shit get your GED first or actually go to college. Fucking weeblet brainlet who goes on 4chan, gets brainwashed by posts, and somehow thinks reading Ulysses is going to make him into something. No.... You are damn useless.

Joyce ain't a genrefic series my dude. if you are looking for 'gripping', Joyce probably isn't the writer for you, unless you mean his characters gripping their dingdongs and pulling themselves off

im just wondering if im Approaching it the wrong way . Like I really can see how he creates and overall picture of Dublin as a place that traps people, just not getting sucked into it

Probably thought "fucking finally I can die".
I feel bad for poor Beckett who had to have this shit dictated to him to write down by the end since Joyce was completely blind.
