      please replace this tweet with an impassioned/unhinged rant about the long-term damage the beatification of James Joyce has done to the last several decades of literature

      i think Ulysses is good but the way any English department approaches it is virulent poison don't *analyze* the fucking thing, holy shit, you have to let go of systematization and read it like you're listening to a piece of music

          how can anyone listen to music *not* like a musician, tho? it is possible I am misunderstanding your point. Basically I feel that experiencing music is itself musicianship; experiencing a story likewise has commonalities with creating one. Hm. Am I wrong about that?

          the musicianly tendency i am polemicizing against is picking it apart into its components and thinking about and judging the technical choices instead of experiencing the damn thing

          Ah! I call that 'reading for technique' when applied to novels, and I do it sometimes, but it's certainly not the default mode.

          oh god i just realized something remember how in the Death's Gate books the Sartans locked the Patryns up in a death maze designed to be impossible to beat by being a badass but easy to beat by becoming a better person? and the Patryns responded by becoming INSANELY BADASS?

          James Joyce tried to write a novel so resistant to analysis that English departments would be anagogically forced to let go of systematization and *experience* a work again, and English departments responded by becoming INSANE SYSTEMATIZERS

          if we couldn't encounter something new without breaking it down into pieces small enough that we can absorb them without changing anything about ourselves, who would we even be afterward
