A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
by James Joyce
I’m glad Stephen didn’t take the job
Tough read, very heady language. When it hit, it really hit but when it slogged it really slogged. Overall, good book, the transformation from a young boy to a young man is so familiar in a very personal way. The feelings of isolation and entrapment are written so well from the point of view of “the artist” in each time period. I loved the section right after he turned down the offer to become a priest. Stephen feels a type of exuberance for capturing his own life for what HE wants, and it’s great! Makes me want to get out and experience life a little more!
Love really is the greatest art…. I can say this cause I’m married
“To discover the mode of life or of art whereby your spirit could express itself in unfettered freedom”
