I rather enjoy the "paranoid" and open-the margins reader response
approach to literature; it can ring my bell, beh el elll, ring my
bell. I wonder if young P, who writes not at all like Joyce, and
certainly had little, other than his struggle with the catholic stuff,
which, doesn't show any maturity until GR, had even read Joyce by
1963.
