#i love you james joyce i love you joseph valente i love you gifford and seidman#starting ulysses finally and i couldnt be more psyched#actually you know what I LOVE YOU seamus deane (literally the best introduction and notes i've ever read)#i think there's something really special about scholarly introductions and editions (like when reading hardy and being able to compare the#manuscript edits in real time)#and deane's intro and footnotes and appendices in the penguin classics portrait are unreal#also thinking hard about how every word in the title is important to the book#and also art being autotelic rather than mimetic or romantic is really fascinating#anyways i love you close reading hehehe
