It's bloody fantastic, is what.
It's one of those texts that remind you that every innovative and challenging development in the contemporary novel (thinking of pomo challenges to the form) was already done in the 18th century.
Have you read it? If you're considering it, just start it. It's not the sort of novel that you read cover to cover, but that you read for a while, then return to later. It was written in instalments (as they were then), so it makes sense to read it in chunks.
legitimately difficult to read unlike stuff like GR that's memed as difficult

Yeah man, i was considering this as my next read (currently reading To the Light House) thanks for the recommendation. I knew it was associated with Joyce so I expect a difficult reading.

I wouldn’t call it difficult – it goes nowhere, but it isn’t particularly challenging. It employs that 18th century humour present in The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, which I did not find particularly funny. Nonetheless, it is a very comfy experience and at times quite amusing; it also has one of the best last pages in any novel I’ve read, although one must read the rest of the novel to appreciate it.

Elaborate on this perspective, please.
Pretty funny. Loved autist uncle Toby

Can you explain why it's difficult? Or is it just that it's long and meandering?
