I have read a novel by James Joyce, “ULYSSES”. It is a story of a one day for a commonplace man Bloom, who is leading an ordinary life, and how this is finally resonant with a Greek mythology Odysseus. The style starts with short rhythmical sentences with a flow of seamless consciousness. During the development of stories, varieties of styles are introduced with multiple viewpoints from the characters appear. The styles finally lead to extraordinary long sentences, similar to what you listen in Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot”. Joyce and Beckett were friends and you can see interactions of these literary men. Humors from theaters of the absurd very frequently appear in their works. In another Joyce’s work, “Finnegans Wake”, Fin again means an endless law of circle. Wake is an awakening, different from a reader to another reader. The experience for leading this novel is such that you have encounter a foreign language, partially similar to your tongue but partially decomposed and recomposed into something very weird. This novel is another form of resonances to various ideas of humanity.
