Why is Joyce a canonical writer?

-Best work is short fiction
-gay eye patch
-Drunk
-Alleged fart sniffing pervert

WHY?

>Alleged
You're new here, aren't you?

Joyce is like Shakespeare. People will be reading his shit forever.

Joyce didn't think he would be timeless

Joyce thought wrong.

Because of the english dominance

>Best work is short fiction
something LITERALLY only a pseud whou couldn't get through Ulysses would say

just get a PDF of Gifford's annotations and quit with the sour grapes bullshit

Anyone here read this? Should I read it?

you are retarded. look for his quotes, he believed in his immortality

lol he was so arrogant he thought ulysses would be the shit for hundreds of years

As it will be

Leave it to the connoisseur of farts to produce the top of all that is the shit

OP is clearly wrong on the short fiction point, as others have pointed out, but even if it were true, what stops short fiction from being canonical?

Because if you references to religion, Homer, and/or Shakespeare, the fedoratards of academia can use it in their intellectual fencing matches, and their students will follow suit so (((professor kowalsky))) senpai will notice them

Dubliners is a better read than Ulysses, but Ulysses is a better wank than Dubliners

...

If you are interested in art, it seems like a must read. His theories were quite influential and well known afaik.
But why did you ask that question itt?

I can't make threads for some reason, only comment. I'm like half banned

Dubliners is top tier comfy

Yeah, it has been the shit for the past hundred

It's more for artists than art fans / critics / etc. but it's a good read. I like the other one better though, forgot the english name but should be something like Point and Line over Planes.

You can literally take a course on Ulysses at my uni
