ulysses isn’t an actual story, its all about the words so hard to sum up with twitterature.

Cute. I loved that contest someone had on twitter about telling a story in six words- facinating how much you can convey in such a short span of words.
On a side note- I’m in the middle of Ulyssys by Joyce right now- talk about the complete OPPOSITE of twitter. Joyce was all about excessive word use in Ulyssys.

It is indeed not easy to read and generally confusing as much of it is internal dialogue and “stream of conscious” prose- until you realize it’s not about the narrative- its about the craft of writing.
If you do tackle it- google a commentary first then come at it as you would a work of art. Sure helped me to appreciate it more!

The authors of the book are only 19.
I hope they make a sequel :)
