"Found parts of the “Proteus” episode to be maddening in their complexity, but I remain consistently astounded by Joyce’s descriptive voice. Still believe it was reasonable to approach this tepidly (at first) but it’s proving to be quite rewarding in spite of the headiness of the endeavor." — Apr 06, 2026 02:40PM

“America is the original version of modernity. We are the dubbed or subtitled version. America ducks the question of origins; it cultivates no origin or mythical authenticity; it has no past and no founding truth. Having known no primitive accumulation of time, it lives in a perpetual present.”

“A book is more than a verbal structure or series of verbal structures; it is the dialogue it establishes with its reader and the intonation it imposes upon his voice and the changing and durable images it leaves in his memory. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.”
