"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 cannot get past the first paragraph of Finnegan's Wake. My mom loves Portrait, though!

Hmmmmmm.

Oh, my god. I was thinking about this entry this afternoon, and I took my mom's copy of Portrait off the shelf. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. It's the most beautiful book I've ever read. Yes.

It's not as bad as I previously supposed.
