Eveline is also one of the stories that is still most present on my mind, but one of my favorite parts was the ending of The Dead with the 'snow falling faintly, faintly falling through the universe'. Joyce truly is a master at creating setting and atmosphere!<br />I'm about halfway through Ulysses at the moment (for a colloquium) and really want to read Portrait of the Artist next because I really like Stephen Daedalus as a character.<br />I think Joyce has this 'stigma' of sorts for being so difficult and serious etc and I think that's not really satisfied. Not every part of Ulysses is difficult, it's also fun at times and not all his writing is as avant-guarde as that one book. I think people should be less 'afraid' of reading him!Carmen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04477953957925317205noreply@blogger.com
