: There is a valid argument that this book has no plot : Joyce tried many times to get it published in England : to no avail. He wrote several mcripts and finally : an American company published it. Imagery.... well, : Pound called him a genius and said that he used : "realism" like no other. The novel has been called : "rude, foul, powerful and an extraordinarily dirty study : of the upbringing of a young man by Jesuits." One : British critic said that it was ugly, and that if he didn't : show some restraint and proportion, he would never : gain any readers.... what an , right? It may be : that Joyce never meant to have a PLOT, it was not : a coming of age novel. it was more like a young : man dealing with guilt... It's a pretty hard read, : why are you reading it? : google.com has some great sites on it... real easy..
