(Belated) Appreciation of James Joyce

Yeah, I know . . . I'm several days late and so on. Joyce's birthday was June 16. But I thought this example of his work, Molly Bloom's Soliloquy, (found on Work-in-Progress--a great blog, BTW) was so . . . different. Beautiful, lyrical (try reading it aloud yourself and see--what do you emphasize? how do the words flow from your mouth?) . . . not the kind of stuff I usually read. (James Joyce wouldn't be, would he?)

Anyway, though I've waited far too long to put this up, I'm doing it anyway. Because it's cool and it's good to read outside your comfort zone, now and then.

And I still have to watch the video . . .
