it may seem fruitless to convince anyone that this is a worthy text. apart from its profound effect on my interests of structuring complex solutions and deep relationships, and the potential multiplicity of forms and shades of meaning and reference, i have a much more personal, although no less covered by the critics, affinity for the text, that is the transformation of the ordinary man and his ordinary activities into the stuff of beauty and universal resonance. of course this investment is completed through the tools i discussed above, but the human idea, that the things we see every day, and the things we eat, read, say, and touch carry the poetic depth and heroic potential as observed by someone like homer or joyce, has formed the largest core of my world outlook, and my will to live.

i think you mixed up the author and the title? didn’t ulysses write ‘joyce’? or am i thinking of ’schema’?

i think that guy might have actually pronounced it ‘hoyce’ to remind me that he was just a poor boy from guatemala city.
