Re: James Joyce and Ulysses
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I've been meaning to ask this same question for a long time. I've not found anyone I know personally who had any lasting impression of the book, or could tell me why it's widely considered the greatest american novel of the 20th century. I made it through about 150 pages before giving up. I can't say I enjoyed any of it, and have no idea what was going on. Can someone who appreciates the book point me to a small section in there that they think is particularly amazing, and maybe why? [/ QUOTE ] The final chapter. [/ QUOTE ] The final chapter was great; I also enjoyed the catechism chapter quite a bit. Most of it went over my head but I was reading it for enjoyment not to necessarily get everything possible out of it so I didn't take a lot of time on the sections that gave me trouble. |
