Life Without Joyce
by Rob Prindle
What if there had been no
James Joyce? That was the
question posed and answered by
Behrend Professor Dr. Archie
Loss last Thursday in his
Council of Fellows research
award lecture.
Loss explored the life and
works of the early twentieth
century author. Joyce knew
fifteen languages and was never
afraid to use them in his works.
Perhaps this sentiment is best
realized in Joyce's final book,
"Finnegans Wake," published in
1939. In that work, the author
developed his own language.
Loss believes that this work was
Joyce's ultimate example of
"form following function."
Joyce always knew that he
would keep the critics busy with
his stream of consciousness
style. His writing has always
inspired strong followers. Loss
believes that, although there are
some good imitations of Joyce's
work, most fail because "even a
stream of consciousness needs a
course." Some imitators use
Joyce as an excuse to ramble and
Loss was quick to point out that
what the author did was not mere
rambling but rather the "artistic
representation of rambling."
Loss pointed out that if there
were no James Joyce the
