Is Ulysses actually good?

Read it and find out, stupid shitposter

Well-written sentences, nice images, jokes and stuff.
Also sympathy for humans including the Jews from a time when it wasn't mandatory

I actually unironically still don't know what Ulysses is about.

the fucking wikipedia article says fuck all about the actual summary of the actual plot (">reading for plot"), it's just memes upon memes about Joyce-disowned chapter names, how the book parallels shit from Odyssey, and some fucking schematas

and I don't know where else I would even try looking for a simplest ten-fifteen sentence summary of what will happen

but it's fucking 600 pages of autism and/or schizophrenia, I'd like to know at least what I should expect to get from it, thematic-wise

all I hear are empty reiterations of "lol Bloom is a cuck xD molly xD lol Stephen Dedalus is the same character as from portrait lol Bloom is spiritually his dad"

it's an allusive novel written by a prose stylist. It's not "about" anything. It isn't plot driven.

that's like asking what Woolf's or Dostoyevsky's novels are "about". A lady throws a dinner party. Some folks go to a lighthouse. A guy kills an old lady with an axe and goes to jail.
plot tells you literally nothing about them.

If you don't like reading for prose or themes then don't force yourself to try and then come back and complain about how terrible you think it is

If you invest the proper time and mental effort in reading it, then yes. It reads like it was written by God.

If you disagree with me, then you're transjectively a bitch.
