No - but I think you need an IQ higher than mine to get much out of it (and that's coming from someone who enjoyed "Ulysses"). I get the impression it'as one of those books for which you have to learn all the correct punctuation first, and then unlearn it.


I was joking there Mr Vooje, based on the notorious rep of FW as a proper language mangler. Holy fuckbuckets, I'm the last person that would actually, really take such a work to task for punctuation. Twas a poor joke told poorly and I was just making light of it's rep and regard as a classic within the literarti orthodoxy and how that's pretty ironic considering its pulverising of form. x


Ah, no sweat, dude - I knew you were jesting. I did try and read it a few years ago but unlike JJ's earlier books, I gave up about a third of the way through 'cos I couldn't make head nor tail of it!
