If you comment on the intentions of an author it is not unreasonable to assume you have read that author. My anonymity does not negate the question, does it.
In any case, you have denigrated a lot of people who enjoy Bob Dylan, your prerogative... I am simply asking how you draw these conclusion about Joyce. I do read jamesJoyce, so I am simply asking how your reading of him brought you to the opinions you express. Not complicated, just a point for discussion.
