Actually this is one of the few things I've disagreed with Jung on. Panorphaeon Send a noteboard - 21/09/2011 12:23:34 AM
I've read some of his critique, and it's poignant. Ulysses is a son of a bitch and I'd never say I love it, but there is enough going on in that novel to make it alive, in some sense, and I can't help but find its profoundly personal nature appealing.

I find the interpretations of Robert Anton Wilson to be rather appealing, when it comes to Joyce, and I owe my interest in the latter to the work of the former.

Given that you read fast, that's not as damning as it could be Tom - 14/09/2011 02:29:55 AM 810 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 323 Views

Pretentious, unappealing and difficult to read. Tom - 15/09/2011 04:25:05 AM 799 Views
Awesome! Jung seems to agree with me. Vodalus - 15/09/2011 03:30:27 AM 876 Views
