james joyce's dirty letters

jenniferkate · 06-09-2003, 11:32 PM

My prick is still hot and stiff and quivering from the last brutal drive it has given you when a faint hymn is heard rising in tender pitiful worship of you from the dim cloisters of my heart.

how fucking romantic!

I hope Joyce didn't really write these. They suck.

They're embarrassingly bad, though. You're right, they're not really supposed to be up for criticism, just ... I mean ... they're awful. You'd figure that one of the greatest writers of the 20th century could do better, y'know? I guess I shouldn't have been so critical, as if it would tarnish his reputation or something, 'cause I don't think that. It's just weird.

Yeah. A freshman in college should know what awful writing is! TOTALLY!

JAMES JOYCE EATS POO BECAUSE HE IS IRISH LOLOLOOLOLL!

I don't think it takes a particularly critical eye to tell that those things are really bad. I'm not saying I could do better, since I probably couldn't, but Joyce could.

Like I said, I shouldn't be so critical, so I take back what I said about me hoping it's not him. It just really sort of took me by surprise. All other personal letters I've read by major literary figures have been pleasant enough by themselves.

You're just upset that James Joyce wrote about ramming his ramrod in to his girlfriends soaking wet cho-cha.

Nah. I'm way more jealous of Missy Elliott--she does that shit with sick beats behind her.

she never did like or understand his way of writing: "why don't you write things people can read?" maybe it was a game, he was antagonizing her. but jeez cant even james joyce be guilty of a little badness?

If he were antagonizing her, that would make more sense.

I guess I've changed my mind. He can be guilty. Right now, I just am having a hard time reconciling the fact that the same man who wrote the end of Book IV of Portrait of the Artist, perhaps my favorite scene in any book ever, also wrote this stuff.

Missy Elliot is ho hum. I guess you didn't notice what a turd "Gossip Folks" is (the Ludacris part is funny though).

WORK IT!

PS Timbaland makes the beats, you know. He's the funky beat maker, he's gonna rock you and all of Jamacier.

sawdust restaurants · 06-10-2003, 01:31 AM

"Gossip Folks" > Ludacris' entire catalog, man.

And yeah, I know all about Timbaland. He keeps dropping ill, slick shit--he's come a long way since those first awful singles with Magoo. Magoo was a huge thugg, though (two g's necessary), so it was fun to watch their videos.

06-10-2003, 01:39 AM

Um no. Nothing in Missy's catalouge can beat "Saturday" or "Area Codes". Look, if you're looking for funny ass, booty shakin' pop rap look no further than Ludacris's radio singles. Gossip Folks doesn't fucking cut it. It sounds horrible.

His album can go hang.

Joyce is about the unity of extremes...which *******s attractive/disgusting. it may be frowned upon by scholars but it was something he and his wife shared, and i see nothing wrong with that. Then again, if you think about it, he did share this writing with the world in Ulysses.

hooray for chapter-long punctuationless masturbatory fantasy!

drawing out the thing by the hour question and answer would you do this that and the other with the coalman yes with a bishop yes I would because I told him about some Dean or Bishop was sitting beside me in the jews Temples gardens when I was knitting that woollen thing a stranger to Dublin what place was it and so on about the monuments and he tired me out with statues encouraging him making him worse than he is who is in your mind now tell me who are you thinking of who is it tell me his name who tell me who the German Emperor is it yes imagine Im him think of him can you feel him trying to make a whore of me what he never will he ought to give it up now at this age of his life simply ruination for any woman and no satisfaction in it pretending to like it till he comes and then finish it off myself anyway and it makes your lips pale anyhow its done now once and for all with all the talk of the world about it people make its only the first time after that its just the ordinary do it and think no more about it why cant you kiss a man without going and marrying him first you sometimes love too wildly when you feel that way so nice all over you you cant help yourself I wish some man or other would take me sometime when hes there and kiss me in his arms theres nothing like a kiss long and hot down to your soul almost paralyses you

You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole.

lawson · 06-10-2003, 06:10 PM

i think its hilarious. and missy eliott rocks ludacris

crescentfresh · 06-10-2003, 06:14 PM

They are erotic in a weird kind of way. It's just so funny to read something like that. If someone me a letter about stains in my panties and my fat ass and farts, I'd start getting paranoid about my personal hygiene

but it was obviously thier own..thing. Very interesting.

Lie · 06-11-2003, 01:24 AM

Well, I wouldn't expect them to be good. That's like expecting someone to say something intelligent during sex. Truly good erotic writing (when it's from one person to another) can actually be a turnoff because of the thought that the person is dressing up their words instead of just writing feverishly whatever comes to mind, even if it sounds completely dumb to an outsider. Of course good language can be incredibly sexy in other contexts, and it's one thing to be initially attracted to a person's intelligence or writing talent, but if any of you guys get off on actually being spoken to or written to in words that are intellectually stimulating in real time, that's a bona fide fetish, and you can deal with that yourself.

That aside, those made me feel kinda sick. I felt bad for even looking at them.
