My Sophomore English teacher told the story of the student he gave an A for a book report on the first chapter of Ullyses. He tried to talk her out of even trying to read that beast, his note on the book report was "you got farther than I ever did". I don't think he actually like Joyce, he only had us read two stories out of Dubliners one was the story about the pervert that whacks off in front of the kids, his comment at the end was that it was something to keep in mind when people start praising Joyce's "wonderful grasp of the Irish mind".

No one with a brain could like Joyce. His writings are obtuse and/or perverse. Why he is hailed as a "genius" is beyond me. I think it has to do with his affair with Anais Nin (another hack) and writer of soft porn that is so celebrated by the lefties who run our English departments.
