I found this really interesting Will. The clips from Rushdie and Fry are both enlighting in different ways. You know I’ve been moaning about this almost all the way through 😂😂 but I’m getting to the stage where I think I might read it again at some point … in the distant future, certainly not anytime soon but sometime
Interesting, I just had that Rushdie clip pop up in my UA-cam feed yesterday, and decided not to click on it - but I’m glad to come across it here. I’m no fan of “stream of consciousness” writing but never gave it so much thought as you’ve done here.
Language keeps evolving, and I’m not sure this perfect book has put down enough stays to bear it through the tides of time.
Good discussion.
@@anotherbibliophilereads - it could wildly swing based on these last three chapters - who knows!
I haven't read Ulysses but I'm wondering if Fry doesn't care about "story" as much as you do. Maybe his notion of a novel is as a work of art that does more than storytelling. I'm not sure but that may be a point of disconnect.
@@poetrycrone6061 - I'm not sure if he's looking to it more for art than he is for storytelling as he says it's infinitely returnable to for literary sustenance.
Plus putting it a close #2 behind Gatsby which is considerably story driven and not just art would make me question the positioning if they belong to different categories.
Sorry I haven't been commenting much on the poetry as of late. I'm able to watch a fraction of what I would normally and the reading of Ulysses is very consuming.
@@willchambers8065 I think when people tackle Ulysses they're excused from all other reading until they can breathe again. FYI, I seriously dislike The Great Gatsby, having never understood why it's considered great, so I have my own reasons for questioning Fry's judgement--and just about everyone else's. In the end I suppose we read widely to develop our own personal sense of "canon." Happily, when we're not part of academia, there's no reason to adhere to its values.
