"I'm taking a class on Ulysses by James Joyce and a classmate accused me of being sexist for calling Molly Bloom "sedentary" when she spends an entire chapter lying in bed."
"James Joyce loved farty anal sex and wrote letters about it constantly. Hans Christian Andersen kept a detailed log of every time he jerked it to the thought of one of his friends."
"Apparently I set an alarm on my phone for this? Anyway I'm awake"
"Like "The Critical Drinker" and all the other channels that make videos complaining about marvel and star wars. A friend of mine is into this shit, and made me watch it with him on saturday. Like holy fuck, watch a Fellini movie or something. Read a James Joyce novel, IDK just put down the fucking a"
"Shakespeare, Joyce, Ozu, Pynchon and McCarthy etc created awe inspiring works of art honouring god built around toilet humour. Cumtown is the stuff of philosopher kings and middle schoolers."
"Even the neoliberal ghouls who run our economy recognise that the likes of Joyce and Yeats and Beckett and Oscar Wilde and Seamus Heaney are central to our 'national brand' and it makes good business sense to set aside a bit of money and ensure Irish writing doesn't lose its association with quality"
"100 years ago James Joyce's Ulysses was published and literature was never the same afterwards. Do I expect the great novel of the century to have appeared already? No. Do I demand that Normal People should be on par with the works of Joyce, Wilde or Beckett? No."
"The Waste Land was, Eliot tells us, his attempt at following James Joyce "in manipulating a continuous parallel between contemporaneity and antiquity…. It is simply a way of controlling, of ordering, of giving a shape and a significance to the immense panorama of futility and anarchy which is contem"
"Funny how it went from a Joyce poem to a track by Syd Barrett to ending up here over the past 100-something years."
"I was under the impression it would be more confusing since its my first Joyce and people obviously go on about Ulysses"
"Like yea it's Brocialist lit 101 and it's not Joyce or Pynchon or even Franzen or Knausgaard."
"It's currently 00:31 here in Ireland as I'm writing this and I'm looking up at the old sacred heart picture in the kitchen and I refuse to belive that the everything can be explained by materialism, maybe I'm just a schizo but I was so insanely stressed and now I feel so loved, it's more than just r"
"I think some people have the ability to put a pen to page and - by the grace of god - the words sing, they sound like Joyce and Wilde."
"It's "The Scary of Sixty-First" like "The Wretched of the Earth". Or like James Joyce's "The Dead"."
"Joyce would have terabytes of scat porn and spend the 17 years he took to write Finnegans Wake gooning instead"
"There is an absolutely phenomenal narration of Ulysses on audible that is totally free. I listen to a lot of books at work (because heavy machinery operation can be a bit tedious) and this is by far the most captivating performance I've come across. I usually am of the opinion that reading a physica"
"Online (including on this very sub) they all position themselves as poets and Marxist revolutionaries. You are not James Joyce you are a CONCRETER married to a NURSE begging for an Australian visa"
"I was under the impression it would be more confusing since its my first Joyce and people obviously go on about Ulysses"
"proust, also -- unlike joyce -- is often NOT a stylist"
"I only jerk it to chapter 13 of Ulysses by James Joyce"
"Or like James Joyce's "The Dead"."
"You are not James Joyce you are a CONCRETER married to a NURSE begging for an Australian visa"
"The word is my Wife, to exponse and expound, to vend and to velnerate, and may the curlews crown our nuptias! Till Breath us depart! Wamen."
"They destroyed the culture the boomers built (Joyce, Bob Dylan etc) in embracing this."
