"reading w/ a friend
i believe that this is difficult to parse purposefully bc joyce intends for you to feel like a child as he is when he writes there isnt distinction between his reality / what he believes & objective reality, hes bewildered by the world & its strange rules, you are meant to feel that too
opens w/ a story to emphasize the importance of art in his world. no explanation of the memory, only sensation" — 4 hours, 26 min ago

"very interesting thus far, the judge’s antics already greatly bemuse me, feel sympathy for the kid— seems his life is punctuated by starting via bloodshed, i foreshadow it will end that way as well
violence is depicted as an innate force. not something learned, rather smth primordial and inescapable. brutality is part of human nature, not merely circumstance, one’s appetite for violence is innate / instinctual" — 10 hours, 56 min ago
