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

3.0

A bit tough to read at times; but powerfully descriptive narrative of an era and place where things were changing heavily. One can also feel how much the Artist himself was changing during his coming-of-age. Admittedly, this style of writing is never easy to follow; as I was told not long ago, perhaps one must read Joyce without thinking much of whether you're understanding at all, but just going with the flow of the pages.

“Have read little and understood less” is a brilliant quote here for many reasons.

Listening to http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00nyxvr was also helpful to grasp the context in which the story is set.
