I saw Ulysses get mentioned by GQ's Instagram page in an article about "five alternate takes on the Odyssey besides Nolan." So that's an example of his actual writing getting mentioned and remembered in 2026. Better than nothing.

Do they? This is my first time hearing of it.

Ulysses was also mentioned in Emily Wilson's review of Nolan's Odyssey, and that article definitely seemed to have made the rounds, at least among cinema nerds.

There's an abomination of a fart fetish comic from DC starring Harley Quinn that mentions Joyce and his letters extensively.

Joyce definitely could have written a banger modernist web comic erotica series

He would also have been a frequent poster on here, I'm almost certain. Not every great writer would have found their way to 4chan but I guarantee Joyce would have.

>>25464525
He had a lot of mischievousness, so I believe it. Maybe Twain, too.

as with all of her comics, it would be far, far better if she removed half the text or half the comic

I heard he spent long nights on the streets of North Dublin smelling the Guinness farts of multiple women friends. It was on one particular night of huffing that stout scented feminine gust, that the inspiration to write Ulysses came to him.

Why was nobody ass-hurt in 2014 when At Midnight on the TV made James Joyce fart letter jokes? Is it really a way bigger deal when a comedian writes a sitcom and doesn't broadcast it, that's when you choose to get mad about it? I have to wait 30 seconds for CIA to retroactively comment before my comment

It's more likely /lit/tards know him more for that now than that they have read him

as they should.

Can we please separate the fart from the fartist

I mean how popular was he with the public of his time anyways? Did more people know Ulysses for its greatness or its obscenity?
>>
>>25464424
Joyce didn't write for normies. He wrote for academics and literati who he knew would analyze and masturbate over his puns for centuries.
>>
>>25469174

Hilarious that if you handed Ulysses to Bloom he'd throw it to the pigs or jack off into it and then throw it.
>>
>>25469174
He thought Ulysses would resonate with the common man, actually

For fucks sake let a nigga sniff farts in peace
