While a provocative jab, it's not really grounded in any reality and makes me think you've not read Joyce or Woolf. Both Joyce and Woolf were heavily influenced by Nietzsche, Oscar Wilde, and Walter Pater (look him up if you ain't heard of dude. If literary modernism is at all an interest of yours, then you're welcome). So the resonances you see between Woolf and Joyce more likely than not come from their shared interest in those 3.

How about an example? Let's compare the formal and theoretical opuses of the two, Joyce's Finnegans Wake to Woolf's The Waves. Sure, both works are overtly invested in demonstrating Nietzsche's eternal recurrence, but a closer look at the two reveals that FW is far more interested in literary history and the cannibalization/regurgitation/reconstitution of a literary tradition while the Waves focuses more on the interiority of the subject, tends more towards psychoanalysis etc. They're similar, sure, but not the same.
