Dear /lit/,
anybody here who has read James Joyce's Ulysses and Finnegans Wake? I read only parts of both and have to write a comparative term paper about them. My problem is that I can't really find a decent topic. The only thing that I find intriguing about Ulysses and Finnegans Wake is to decipher the sentences and words and the philosophical aspects, where I don't even agree with Vico's and Nietzsche's idea of eternal recurrence (I am more a fan of Milan Kundera's idea that time is linear), though I enjoyed reading Proteus. I would be thankful for some ideas!

>Nietzsche's idea of eternal recurrence
>relevant to Proteus
Yeah I'd stick away from philosophy of the texts bud

Literally Day and Night, duh. Have you actually read them or are you just memeing?

If you dislike Devir you do not deserve help.

I did not say that Nietzsche's idea of eternal recurrence is in any way related to Proteus. As far as I can recall, Proteus is about perception and the diaphane. Feel free to leave the thread and spread your cynism somewhere else.
>anybody here who has read James Joyce's Ulysses and Finnegans Wake?

Oh fuck off it was implied in how you connected the sentence
>>8078724
It was related to "philosophical aspects".

>I am more a fan of Milan Kundera's idea that time is linear
Haha yeah, it was Milan Kundera who came up with the idea that time is linear!!

Alright Keyboard Warriors, sorry for not enumerating every single human being which came up with that idea, starting with Parminedes. Now go back to sucking your thumbs and eating cheerios while watching Naruto.
You have to write about two books you haven't even read? As I see it you have two options: choose different books or actually read the books you're trying to write about.
