what book are you making fun of?

valwiggin September 30 2008, 19:35:49 UTC

Oh, I don't know. Sorry, I just assumed that everyone read "Stephen" as "Stephen Dedalus-pants." I think that line is from Ulysses. Maybe Anne knows. She was an English major, right?

I bought a copy of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man at a Friends of the Library sale for 50 cents like 5 years ago and then finally read exactly 1 page of it while we were at Duke Gardens one time. Does that count?

You need to stop collecting boys with the same names. That road leads to tragedy.

And you don't even KNOW about DJ Dan Parsons...

I don't know ANY of these Dan people.

I was wondering if his appellation was going to get changed to North Carolina Dan. I'm glad it didn't.

I didn't know what Stephen either as I am part and particle of the unwashed masses. I read a very dead mother and thought, Faulkner?

trainedmonkey October 1 2008, 14:51:36 UTC

Dead mothers are very Faulkner. I mean I've only read five Faulkner novels, but they all have dead mothers. Some of them have more than one dead mother.
