I write like James Joyce
(WEBLOG)
I write Like James Joyce? That a hell of a complement.
**I don’t know if James Joyce wrote a lot of poetry; he best known for his novels, prose and plays.
In Ulysses and Finnegan Wake he employed the “Stream of Consciousness” Narrative. Stream of consciousness, replaced traditional periodic Meta-narrative with the continuous flow of perception -reflection- and reactions of that mimics a persons thought process.
In Ulysses moves back and forth through history and western cultures implementing this narrative. Finnegan’s Wake used the narrative style explore the symbolism and ambiguity of conscious, between dream and reality.
I call would it a ” heap of broken images” (from T.S. Elliot’s the Wasteland).

Apparently I write like Douglas Adams. Ironically, while reading Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man several years ago, I came to the conclusion that I write like James Joyce. Hmmm

Thanks for your comment Shannon. I was hoping for T.S. Elliot , since when I regularly rip his work off. But. Joyce will do.
