Forum: James Joyce

hi, everyone! I am quite new here, here is a fragment from James Joyce's a portrait of the artist as a young man: "to remember that the white look of the lavatory made him feel cold and then hot, There were two cocks that you turned and water came out: cold and hot, He felt cold and then a...

Most: 1. Attending the 10th annual Trieste Joyce school in a little more than 3 weeks! (Yep, Trieste, Italia) 2. My Ulysses seminar's 6 hour reading of Circe 3. Sophomore year of undergrad--I started my study (in class) of Ulysses, and decided to pick up an english major 4. Once a month or...

I finished reading this 'novel' yesterday, and wrote about it here. Although my discussion is steeped in anime (as I'm primarily writing an anime blog), I think everyone can still understand what I'm talking about. I'd appreciate comments on my site or here, whereever you prefer. Thanks!

The Manchester born writer put effort into understanding Joyce where others just passed it over as unintelligible. The literary establishment in this country did not have...

And what of Edna O Brien’s biography of the genius? Concise might be the word to describe the full package. We can also assume it to be of a feminist generic. And of cause it is Irish so she must be in the know. Well I don’t wish to mislead but having read the book I can honestly say that some of...

Did anyone do anything exciting for Bloomsday? I read a few episodes (1 and 3), but unfortunately its not a holiday that we get off at work, so other than that, and kicking back a few Guinesses with a friend, I couldn't do too much.

Well, not sure if anyone's out there, but here's the place to post if you are. Once again, you can get some help with this chapter here: http://www.robotwisdom.com/jaj/ulysses/ Stephen is teaching at a boy's school. The chapter begins in the classroom, during what I think is a Latin class....

who was more important for their influence on irish writing? jorce or yeats. opinions must be backed up by arguments for and against each....

How's everyone getting on? Don't forget, you can get help with the bits you don't understand from the site I posted before (as well as the full text of the book): http://www.robotwisdom.com/jaj/ulysses/index.html
