Hm, yes I've got an encyclopedic knowledge of all of the great works of western art, literature and culture over the last two thousand years and I can speak fluent English, Italian, German, French, Latin and Greek let me use all of those to make an unintelligible mess about farts and looking at naked statues and jerking off in a latrine which will be the apex of the written word for the next century.

I was going to say that Joyce used the n word all the time but then i remembered that was actually Lovecraft. Did Joyce ever use the n word in his writing?

Pretty amazing that what is widely regarded as the finest work of modern western literature is basically the cuckoldry meme.

Never as an omnipotent narrator sense like racist authors such as Conrad, Kipling or Lawrence would do. Maybe once or twice in dense passages of drunken slang in Ulysses and as vocalized slang in the plasma language of Finnegan's Wake, passages that sought to echo in some ways real-world talk

He had to smelt the modern dictionary back to protean plasma and reenact the genesis and mutation of language in order to deliver his message. But the final wonder is that such a message could be delivered at all.
