{∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} : Rage Against the Meat Grinder

Senor Raul,
I tried to read Joyce’s Ulysses but could not hack it about 12 years back. Its language was way too erudite for me. Now, I have managed to understand a little book.Its a strange book because the main characters are like shadowy puppets,they are not aware of themselves.
They are looking for sex, all of them, almost all the time. Strange book. And yet not so strange given the kind of life that I have had myself. Although I would definitely say that the book is no walk in the park.
When I go to bed ,its like I am getting ready to go to the movies.The most vivid dreams you could imagine. Except for the fact that I don’t have popcorn in the bed, its exactly like watching a movie.Although in these movies I am often also a character and feel pain and anxiety and what not.
The most vivid dreams one could possibly imagine.
Joyce, so I am told, has had a very difficult life. Why is it that most writers have very sad lives? I think everyone has a sad life, the only difference is, the writers, obviously enough, write about it.
When I was into that story, it was surreal, set sometime in 1905 in Dublin which I think is the capital of Ireland and the Catholic Church is said to be very powerful there. Almost omnipotent. Now its a rich country but at that point in time most of the people were very poor and lived very sad and tragic lives.
I wonder if Latin is taught in Paraguayan schools because it was taught in the Irish schools of the period and one of the lead characters Stephen ,is very good at it.
Take care my friend.
