James Joyce

What the f*ck was his problem?

IQ too high

According to Harold Bloom he was jealous of Shakespeare.

he was going blind and so he put a stronger and stronger emphasis on the sound of his work.

nice meme

farts

He enjoyed a good fart joke now and then.

post some good fart - literally jokes
pls

There's that boy: James his name is. Rebellious. He's got that fighting Irish spirit in him. Ah, well, but I must call on him for something.

Mr. Beckett called on Mr. Jimmy Joyce, age 22 and 10 years old respectively.

—YOU, JIMMY.
—Yes, sir?
—I want you to use the word "definitely" in a sentence.

Silence.

—Can you do that, my lad?
—Mr. Beckett?
—Yes?

Getting suspicious. That strange mischievous glint in the eyes: golden glint. Chrysophthalmos.

—Do farts have lumps in them?
—N-no, Jimmy, farts do not have lumps in them. And why, may I ask, do you ask this?

He is confident, supremely serene. Come to usurp my throne, launch me from my place of regal might and glory. The class clown, the jester. Buck Mulligan.

—Then I definitely just shit my pants!

Fucking amazing
Bravo Joyce

"My dear whorish Nora…"

is it just me or was he kinda hot

Was he a pirate IRL?

This is my first time posting in Veeky Forums ever and I've never really been a reader of books but I was very drunk the other night and bought Finnegan's Wake after someone recommended it to me. I haven't opened it yet. Have I made a good choice?

You won't be able to even understand wtf is written in there, and I mean just the language

If I'm ever on my death bed I will make my best non-literary friend promise he will read and finish Finnegans Wake, but only after I'm gone.

this is why I browse Veeky Forums

>Joyce will never know the world of internet porn

lool why did I laugh at this.

he definitely was. especially in the pirate eye patch undercut pic

I'm reading it now and I get the impression that what a lot of the words mean doesn't matter too much. This is something I can get behind to be honest

Harold Bloom was a damned fool.

could you be more wrong? at least read ulysses first if you haven't

He looked kind of funny but he is probably the coolest dude to ever live, I mean, just look at the OP pic, how can someone pull that look off?
Even his hair is cool

lmfao

Can someone tell me which Joyce book had the sound that was like "babababababababababading"? It wasn't quite that but hopefully that's close enough. I don't know what to google.
