Ernest Hemingway's Pipe...

[anotherbob]

Faulkner is akin to Joyce and was heavily influenced. However, I personally feel his stream of consciousness writing is crystal clear when compared to that of Joyce.
I finally finished Ulysses last year during the height of the pandemic. I had started it half a dozen times over the years. Never making it more than 100 or so words. Interesting book, interesting place in history as relating to flow, content and censorship. Personally enjoy W. Faulkner ten fold in comparison.

Joyce is the only person who's written several books that I finished and felt like that was a feat and also felt no shame in feeling that I missed most of what was being layed out.
