James Joyce He was stupid. He didn't know as much as me... -Matt Cook
One thing that's pretty corny about this book is that all the additional characters are actually cameos from other Joyce works. It's like the Star Wars prequels. Hey, look: Bloom made C3P0!
If Joyce character cameos were the most gimmicky thing in this book, we'd be in much better shape by the end of it.
I kind of like the cameo. Faulkner does this and my guilty pleasure, Anne Tyler does too.
