Description
Tim Conley's Useless Joyce Textual Functions, Cultural Appropriations provocatively explores the usefulness of literature and art. The author argues that James Joyce's Ulysses and Finnegans Wake are polymorphous meditations on this question, challenging traditional notions of literary value. Conley examines how texts can be reinterpreted for practical purposes, drawing parallels between explication and commentary on Joyce's work and the self-help publishing industry. By reading these works as guides, new discussions about literature, interpretation, and use can emerge. This book invites readers to reconsider their assumptions about literature and its role in society, making it a thought-provoking addition to any academic or literary collection.
