I think this happens pretty often, particulalry in poetry, which I 

attempt to write at times, demands interpretation, the poet acting as 

medium.  Seems logical that other writers are privy to the same.  Who's 

to say writers have the fundamental, objective truth about what they 

write, or  a monopoly on interpretation--Joyce and his portals of 

discovery surely lead to places even the master himself had never thought 


of--he shows the fork in the road but allows the reader to discover the 

misty paths he/she has brought them to the beginning of.  Who wants to 

read a book where at its end you know everything about, nevermore to set 

eyes on it again.  How sad.
