kind of

A good person to really understand the way they use indirect discourse is Hurston, because of the way the dialect seeps into the prose. She is the easiest to figure out what they're doing.

We all know Joyce is a master. But is it appropriate as a first approach? You need to add all the Irish context and lingo to the complexity the work has.

Stream of consciousness isn't actually good, kid. It's just a meme.

Yeah sure why the fuck not, reading books isn't some video game where you need to level up to read the best ones

>>8767793
You think so? I guess it's different for me. Would you give Ulysses as a first book with depth to a friend who doesn't read?

>>8767793
Not the best ones, but I'd say the more complex ones.

Portrait's a decent choice, but don't pretend like it doesn't have its fair share of weirdness. Hurston is a great way to learn the technique and an easy read (not to mention a pretty good read). Dissing Virginia Woolf shows you as a memester anyway.

There are far better reasons to dislike Joyce than Woolf. That Said, I like Joyce better too.
