My great Grandfather used to drink with Joyce in Dublin. I never knew my great grandfather but my grandfather told me that his father said Joyce was 'A fucking moon man.' meaning: weird as fuck.

So you see, no one would have been surprised by him publishing that madness.

It's the face of a depraved weirdo.

If you saw a man like that you would know he's in to some weird shit...literal shit by the way. That is the face of a fart smelling man.
