In terms of prose, what should I expect? Is it anything like Absalom, Absalom! where the sentences are 30 clauses strung together by semicolons?

Sample prose from Joyce's Finnegans Wake:

Thefall (bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonner-ronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthur-nuk!) of a oncewallstraitoldparrisretaledearly in bed and lateron life down through all christianminstrelsy.

This is what you should expect. He just spews whatever crap comes into his head like a child. It's really immature and has no literary merit.

Come on. I haven't read Ulysses or Finnegan's Wake, but even I know that the style in Finnegan's Wake is waaaayyyyy different from Ulysses

Sentences are very different from Absalom. Most of them are just fragments. Nothing very long until a coupla chapters towards the end, but most of the time the long sentences are p straightforward and easier to follow than the clusterfuck that Absalom can occasionally be (except for Oxen of the Sun).

Alright, I plan on reading it soon, because A Portrait and Dubliners were fantastic. As for Absalom, Absalom!, I feel isolated in that while I admit the prose is impressive, I think that it is often bloated. Idk, I like Faulkner, but sometimes it's a bit much.

No I agree w/r/t the bloatings of Absalom: making for a surprisingly difficult drudging of a read.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
