How the fuck did anyone read this in the 40s without a guide?

nigga they were the ones making the guides.

i guess either they were an english professor whose job was to study literature, or they took a course taught by one.

That book is an abomination. Joyce went full pretentious fedora with it.

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.
