Awesome! Jung seems to agree with me. Vodalus Send a noteboard - 15/09/2011 03:30:27 AM
It is evident that he does not see Joyce as an innovator because he finds him mired in a Mediaeval Catholic Irish world. His studied attempts at distancing himself from this background are like, in Jung’s words, the aristocratic Bolshevik who revels in not shaving. Silly and symbolic gestures are taken to remove the author from his background, but it only reinforces that he is still a slave to a particular mindset.


I said this, or something very much like it, in one of the surveys you made when posting as Сталин. Actually, it was more like "expatriate Irish Catholic apostate", but whatever.
南無阿弥陀仏!

I re-read it for the third time this spring Larry - 14/09/2011 12:01:02 AM 1372 Views
Given that you read fast, that's not as damning as it could be Tom - 14/09/2011 02:29:55 AM 1093 Views
I tried the beginning of it once A Deathwatch Guard - 14/09/2011 02:31:16 AM 1113 Views
If you don't like it at about 75-100 pages in, you just won't like it. *NM* Tom - 15/09/2011 04:30:27 AM 438 Views
Took a class on it. Aeryn - 14/09/2011 11:27:24 PM 1131 Views
I could see a short class on it being interesting. Tom - 15/09/2011 04:29:55 AM 1076 Views

It was precisely because I liked A Portrait of the Artist that I tried Ulysses. Tom - 15/09/2011 03:46:31 PM 1050 Views
Actually this is one of the few things I've disagreed with Jung on. Panorphaeon - 21/09/2011 12:23:34 AM 1016 Views
