I think that's very wise. He's one of those hyper-intelligent people who also have perverse senses of humor. They get bored telling linear stories and start coming up w/ elaborate jokes and puns and burying them in the text. Obviously that's not all Joyce was about, but it's a substatial chunk of his personality and his voice as a writer. I think that the fact that people are still reading and puzzling over his work still would fill him w/ glee.

I finished Ulysses last week...

it's strange, cos we've been doing Ulysses for such a long time.

My presentation went really well...for some reason I got three people coming up afterwards

"a voiceless song sang from within singing"

Congratulations! So what were the 3 people coming up to you for?

I just found out Finnegan's Wake has been translated into other languages : Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Hungarian, and Italian.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for those authors. I can't even imagine the insanity they went through (but most likely never got out of...)

Well, one said (immediately after):" wow, it seems you know so much about it or did you just do a lot of research?"

another: "Wow, have you read Lanark (I used a quote on Lanark by Cairns Craig)?! Do you see any other similarities between Lanark and Ulysses?"

and the last one (who is idiotic about Joyce and Ulysses, an older guy, 40?) said he was sorry about the remark he had made (something that he didn't think a short note on the literary genre for Ulysses was necessary, [he thought this was literary criticism, not philosophy...]), that everything i had said was all very interesting, that this was something he didn't know too much about etc...and he asked me some further questions



The professor, who is specialised on Joyce (and also on Joyce on philosophy) was nodding all throughout the presentation and told me it was good ... before she had to run off...

oh yeah

this is a good week

"a voiceless song sang from within singing"

I am getting so curious to Finnigans Wake... we've postponed the 6 pages two weeks...

"a voiceless song sang from within singing"

I really am glad it went so well for you, Miss Alabama.

I thought Lanark was by Alistair Gray. Is there another Lanark? Or am I thinking of something else.....

Yes, Lanark is by Alasdair Gray, but the article ON it was by Cairns Craig

"a voiceless song sang from within singing"

Tdoay the professor for James Joyce asked me if I was a philosophy student (apparently, i had made the impression i knew what i was talking about )... AND if i already knew what i am going to do after my graduation (june 2003) She wants me to come and talk about it

"a voiceless song sang from within singing"

That's great! Congratulations!

I had to inter-library loan it, and I only had it for one week, so, no. I read maybe the first quarter of it. I keep meaning to buy it; I foresee myself reading it through many times. There were many subliminal twists that I know will require much paying-attention-to.

Please don't tell me how it ends!
