re: Today Is BloomsdayI wonder what the Ulyssians here think of modern ornate, overwritten -- and super-long books -- such as "Gravity's Rainbow," by Thomas Pynchon
Either my attention span is too short for Gravity's Rainbow, or Thomas Pynchon's attention span is too short to write in a single line of thinking.
I suppose drugs might have augmented the reading experience.
"Ulysses has been labeled dirty, blasphemous, and unreadable."
Sounds appealing! Truthfully, I must confess, I've never managed more than 50 pages of Ulysses. I mean, where was that killer plot hook?
I wonder what the Ulyssians here think of modern ornate, overwritten -- and super-long books -- such as "Gravity's Rainbow," by Thomas Pynchon or perhaps "Infinite Jest," by David Foster Wallace. I made it through Gravity's Rainbow, and liked it, but I fell asleep halfway through Infinte Jest.
