Re: Aba
I am glad you found it amazing. There is indeed a lot to learn from Joyce' creative style of writing. I am thinking of another write to throw some more light on A Portrait. Thank you ever so much. I'll get time to read, write and comment from the day after.

I really enjoyed how you have analyzed both the book and the writer for us here. It must have been quite a challenge to take on a project so detailed in so little time. It's interesting to me how Joyce began the book and returned to it later. To me, this lapse may have given him a bit of clarity and confidence to let the story develop as it did. Very good, actually amazing, dear Aba!

Your description reads to me of a young man's search to understand himself, to find the man he will be by wrestling with different identities and experiences. perhaps I am now old enough to understand why an Uncle or Father will take his Son to a respectable brothel for his first experiences.
