 + au contraire, joyce was among the happy few who, artistically, managed to   
 come full circle without having to make compromise. as cioran put it in his 
 cahiers --- "james joyce: the proudest man of the century. because he wanted 
 the impossible and partly fulfilled this with the obsession of a crazy god. and 
 because he never cared about the reader and didn't want to be readable at any 
 price. reaching his peak in the dark" (e.m. cioran: cahiers 1957-1972. ffm 
 2001: suhrkamp, p. 26, own translation).
