taetris 's review for:

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce

---

I have got maybe 50 pages to go, but I am dnf-ing this book. It is much to lyrical and poetical to be interesting to me. The language ist pretty, I can see that, but everything else is lost on me. I am sure there is a lot of hidden meaning to unpack, but I am just not enjoying the book, since half the time I have no idea what is going on.
