"Then in New York I Fell Out with a Dragon..."

Query:

Is there any actual merit at all (literary or otherwise) in James Joyce's Portrait of an Artist?

Discuss.

(we found a nest of baby rabbits to-day while picking up trash along Oriental Road. Baby rabbits, and one slithery garter snake that Maria almost stepped on, whispering over the leaves down the bank.)

I still haven't managed to struggle through anything he's written. I got about 20 pages into Ulysses before I realized that I had about as much idea what was going on as he meant for me to have, which was none.

Urgh. We're in by eighty-seven, and it's exhausting.
