On Tuesdays and Saturdays we can post what we've learned and the questions we would like to ask the rest of the group. Try reading two pages a day. That should...
A funny thing happened. I forgot the book starts with page three. We'll make up the difference later. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as we do two ...
Did the Finnegan fall during the building of the tower of Babel? I just wondered, considering the confusion of the languages and all.<br><br>From another book,...

Feel not alone. I have studied Joyce since my sixteenth year and the grip I have on his work is tenuous. I say interpret it as you please. Anything, just ...
James Joyce is not easily read. His style was modernist. The characteristics of modernism are stream of consciousness, ambuiguity, the unreliable narrator, and...
Hi Simon:<br>I guess the best advice I can give is to try as the reader to get inside the head of the narration. I'm not sure of the problem your having in...
Another approach that you can use is to be like James Joyce. Always listening to snippets of conversation in public places, this is what he did, he took his...
I'm nearly done with "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man". I plan to start reading "Ulysses" on Feb. 1. I can foresee myself asking a million questions...

I start reading "Ulysses" tomorrow. I tried looking for a copy of Gifford's "Ulysses Annotated" but found none in the local bookstores. I got myself instead...
Fear not, my friend, of asking tons of pesky questions as you put them. Nobody knows so much about James Joyce and I'm afraid no one never will. When these ...
About Joyce's lectures on esthetics, art, beauty, tragedy, pity, etc.... I believe you're right. I'm re-reading the novel (I am at two different stages - cpt 5...
I'm trying to write a paper of Portrait at the moment, so the question I am planing to ask is related to it. It's the middle of the summer here and normally ...
