To rehearse: Christian Lorentzen wrote he prefers re-reading Ulysses to reading comics, which suggests an either/or. I pointed out that Joyce himself didn't see this as an either/or. So: not saying we need Joyce's permission but rather that he rejected premise. Simple, no?

if you think he would have sat down for hours to read it bound up in 300 pages, then maybe. But since it wasn't available that way, he may have enjoyed a kind of short story sequential effect. Binge-reading or -watching is not everybody's preference.

So people who read Oliver Twist or Portrait of the Artist or Ulysses in serialized forms (as they originally were) weren't really reading novels. What a strange argument.

The point is,
@Emilyrobin, it wasn't a bound volume, so you can't know definitely that Joyce would have appreciated it as a long narrative in one volume such as graphic novels are today which was the comparison and assumption I was questioning.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
