"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've only read Dubliners, so I wouldn't know.

But, oh, bunnies and garter snakes! My father has a house upstate, and there's a stone wall there where many garter snakes live in the summer, and if you sit there very still, sometimes they will come out and sun themselves near you. :D

Eeee! I love garter snakes. They're so pretty. I don't know, snakes are just lovely in general.
