@Appestato: I was sleepy and I don’t remember the concept -_-"
I think it was referring to something Marxist. The struggle of the proletariat and similar things.

I remind those who call Joyce a piece of shit that before him, right in the midst of the Enlightenment, a certain Laurence Sterne wrote a book titled "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman". It is an unfinished nine-volume work where there is nothing that can be defined as "the structure of a work" except for the (de)structuring of the logical processes of the mind. I recommend reading it if you can find it, and if you consider that a piece of shit too, then 50% of your knowledge about the history of literature is based on the study of Martian writers or whatever other planet, where there haven’t been 2 world wars and the population does not need loquacious awakenings of consciousness.

But yes: let's also give a 1 to Thomas Stearns Eliot, to Virginia Woolf, to Ezra Pound, and while we're at it, also to Italo Svevo and Luigi Pirandello, not to mention Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, and John Osborne. We could do even better if someone reviews an essay by Freud and/or Bergson and we all give a collective 1. :D

I have a doubt: if Joyce is the dance music of literature, who is the metalhead? Nabokov? And how should Moccia be defined?

Thank you for the notification. Of course it takes courage to translate it :D

Maybe it's because I've read it twice in a row, always stopping at the same point (Chapter III) before going straight to Molly’s monologue, and that I read it all in five days the third time, but I always consider "Dubliners" (particularly "The Dead") superior to Ulysses. Joyce was the author who, more than anyone else, put his life into his works, turning it into art both sacred and profane, and I believe there are few with his sincerity and intellectual honesty. Baricco said on Che Tempo Che Fa that it's one of the most overrated works in the world of literature, that the course of literary history, if it had taken a different direction, would not even have considered Joyce as one of the founding fathers of modern literature: a discovery of hot water. Virginia Woolf, when she read Ulysses for the first time, said it was utter rubbish; unfortunately for them, literature walks parallel to history and philosophy, and I don’t think they would dare to define Bergson's theories as rubbish since they swim in that philosophy. Does anyone know if the translated version of Finnegan's Wake has finally been released? I remember my English teacher talking about her professor (I don’t recall his name) to whom publishing houses like Mondadori offered blank checks to get his translation, but he always refused.

"I believe that an Inter like that of Corso, Mazzola, and Suarez will never exist again, but it doesn't mean there won't be other beautiful teams in a different way." And I want Boniperti, Charles, and Sivori back at Juventus!
