Rabbits Against Magic by Jonathan Lemon for November 18, 2020

Stream of consciousness does read like that.

… and Weenus was using the audio version of the cliff notes.

You should have read the Classics Illustrated comic book on the book! At least it had pictures!

I"ve tried to read it. It was easier reading the Yellow Pages.

What a waste of time…..two sentences, you say? Why bother!

“Ulysses” is considered a masterpiece of stream of consciousness literature, which rambles on about the undying moment, with little regard for punctuation, plot, character development or sequel. If you enjoy “Ulysses”, you might enjoy Gertrude Stein’s “Familiar Strangers” or “Tender Buttons” written in what she described as a type of “word salad”. Both authors treated the English language as an experimental tool more than a means of communication.

Hmm. “Ulysses” has three syllables. The joke would also work if he had said “syllables” instead of “sentences.”

Actually, the third sentence, “He held the bowl aloft and intoned: ‘Introibo ad altare Dei’,” is the first of thousands of quite funny moments throughout the book.
