Decide to engage literary giant, James Joyce

It's how mothers tell stories to little boys, I guess.

The very first line of Portrait, is what that is.

I have yet to read it, but I might pick it up soon.

It's not your grandmother's type of novel that's for sure!!

I just started reading Portrait today. I love it.

lol wow this is a really good post, nice thread OP

see and

literally this

imo the opening of Portrait is like the opening of Kieslowski's Double Life of Veronique

the original Portrait (the one he burned) was better though

It's the (very) young artist synthesizing reality with musical language turd ball

Yeah, OP. it's like Beethoven
