author is a high school teacher of English-the bio endearingly records that he coaches soccer too-which means he's able to pitch this complex novel to the general reader. More guides to difficult novels should be written by high school teachers! Thoroughly useful and a welcome addition to the Joyce bookshelf for those of us who have struggled with Joyce's dense prose

#PoetryMatters Day 6: #Thick

I can't claim to have enjoyed this. It's dull in places, a little pretentious maybe, the nonlinear narrative gets old very quickly, and the plot ... is there a plot?! But the twist in the last line knocked me sideways. It's simple & kinda obvious really, but I really did NOT see it coming. And I'm left questioning, not so much the text, but MYSELF! Why DID I believe a certain thing to be true? What does it say about me? I'm honestly disturbed!

Ooh, this long-time NetGalley lurker sounds really intriguing! It's next on my list - I'm going to start after work.

Taking @IndoorDame's cue, here is my favorite poem on autumn. 🧡🍁💛

#IgnoranceIsBliss comes from this 1742 Thomas Gray poem, Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44301/ode-on-a-distant-prospect-of-eton-c...
