Well, everyone else is talking Joyce, and I just cant resist. Yes, it is hard to write after extensive Joyce reading, as it is with any great writer. To try to...
The parts from the "Ulysses" you cited are so beautiful (may not be the right word)! Rather, I should say, haunting. Joyce's words suspend and bolster us. In...
hey everyone! i need help :( i'm supposed to do a presentation about faces and kisses in the portrait of an artist as a young man for my eng class. i've read...
Well, I just joined this club, cos James Joyce is one of my fave writers (oooh not very original no?!?!)....anyway....that's ME..."not very original".......
"I feel that Joyce sought to be free. He belongs to none, no religion, no nation, no state, etc."<br><br>I agree. Also, there is an immense spirituality I find...

The best biography is Richard Ellmans, but it is quite long. There was a short biography published last year by, I believe, Penquin and I will try to dig up ...

I have read FW a couple of times, cover to cover. I am sorry that your experience was bad. The Tyndall, too, was probably a mistake in that it tends to be...
Hi from cold wet and windy Dublin. Forget the notion that Joyce left Ireland because of repression or a quest for freedom, etc. He left because of the weather!...

Hi,<br><br>Yes. There are two off-hand I can think of. In Science Fiction there is Samuel R Delaney whose Dhalgren, like the Wake starts and ends in the middle...
