Have you guys actually read this? Type something that proves

>OI FUCKEN FARTS

This Joyce fellow truly was a genius

The scene where Stephen's in the pub expounding on Shakespeare and art to some of Dublin's literati and then he doesn't get invited to some exhibition for young poets hit me hard.

Quotes from the first 6 chapters shouldn't count

Cucking, peeing in a bedpan, and masturbating to a gimp.

What do I win?

Came here to post this.

Literally exactly this what the fuck I thought we were meant to be Unique?!

>Swiftly, pert Burt Lancaster crashed down the stairs with a bowl of freshly made pancakes across which lay a crucifix and a dog's leash.

>"Kyrie eleison!" he blurted.

my favorite parts are the ways he portrays deaf pat and the blind stripling, one watching people's lips and selling secrets, and the other, a piano tuner with a proposed psychic ability to hear other's inner thoughts.
the contrast between the two and their lack of senses, without directly mentioning them in conjunction was pleasant to my sensibilities.

Is Ulysses actually good? Everything I've heard about it makes me think it's just a meme that literary critics use to make fun of people.

I'm taking a joyce class next semester and dude's not teaching finnegans wake.

>>8821725
how come? and it is a dedicated course on Joyce only?

what a fucking hack

>>8821834
Not that guy, but I expect it's not taught because the prof knows that no one will read it. It's a pain in the ass to prepare lectures and teach on something difficult when you know that the text has not been read. And he also might be a complete charlatan, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt,

Yes, it was a translation

Bloom gets turned into a woman and fucked by the brothel owner

To be Unique the creative nothing must first actually be creative.

The bit where they pee in his backyard and the light of the sun flitering through the clouds is dank

Op --- appears there are few folks on this board who aren't complete plebs...now what?

i read it a long time ago because i'm old
i mainly remember him jerking off to the qt with a limp and that fucking amazing chapter that's like a fugue with gold and blue (i think)

Does nymphs eat electric light?
Is Shakespeares brother in his plays?

>>8820257
UP up

>>8824683
They bought the shitty coffee because Stephen was drunk as fuck on absinthe and needed to sober up

>>8820257

O! She's lame!

>>8824725
>U.P.: up
What the fuck did this even mean and why was that guy so buttblasted by it

>>8820257
I haven't read the Gabler one. I might someday, but I've only ever read the revised one. I like when Bloom fantasizes about all the women killing themselves on his behalf.

I smiled at him. America, I said quietly, just like that. What is it? The sweepings of every country including our own. Isn't that true? That's a fact.

stately, plump buck mulligan came from the stairhead to forge in the smithy of his soul the uncreated conscience of his race as he listened to the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead
