It’s official –– I’m one of the few, the proud, the slightly masochistic: I have read Ulysses. And, actually, it was pretty good. Since this is going to be a fairly long review, I’ve decided to write up in a kind of FAQ question-and-answer style, as if we were having a conversation with one another. This way, you can dip in and out as your interest dictates. I hope this document provides some guidance and a little encouragement towards a book that is too often left unread.
I've a volume which includes both Dubliners and Artist. It's my water closet book, and I'm about ten Dubliners along. When I'm done, probably about October, I was planning to call it good with Joyce, but now, thanks to your review, I'm starting to hope I'll live long enough to enjoy Ulysses. You have such a wonderful, flowing expository style, that I'm jealous of your ability. You should plunge into a big writing project! I’m sure there’s a great story’s seed that just wants (years of) water in the soil of your soul.
