Pity he was so much of a dick in his private life though.
What's that ? We'll excuse him a lot because he was great.... ?

I credit Joyce with easing me painlessly into the stream of consciousness genre. We studied A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in school, and I took to it like a duck to water. The book still lives in my head.
@gutenberg_org "a terrible beauty was born..." the words used to describe the Irish 1916 Rising against British rule by Joyce. ❤️
