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

[psalm_onethirtyone]

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.)

Wait, whoa. I just realized you mean that you, like, just started the book today. Are you saying you read the whole thing? In one day?

If so, then wow, dude, you're even better at reading Joyce than I am. I doff my hat.

Also I highly encourage you to pick up a copy of Ulysses; it's even better than Portrait, in my opinion.
