legsbian 's review for:
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
by James Joyce
Honestly cannot rate this because it's one of the most obtuse books I've ever read but it's also "historically significant" or whatever.
Legitimately just some story about a man who is absolutely convinced that he's the only intelligent person in Ireland. While I appreciate that it must feel like a lonely existence, it's also like... get a fucking grip, dude. At one point he has sex with a prostitute and then has a meltdown and becomes temporarily religious. Then he decides to go to university, but spends most of his time thinking about how the students and professors aren't as smart as he is. Think of the worst guy in your English Lit class and I promise this man is 10x worse.
