The Joyce community has had a lot of discussion of the Joyce material in the book. Joyce had mixed feelings about Wagner. He said he disliked Wagner's music, but he went to see performances of Wagner's music dramas and operas whenever he had the chance. He also included tons of references to Wagner in his writings.<br /><br />I also find it interesting the huge impact Wagner had on Joyce, Proust and Musil. Wagner permeates Proust. In fact, one might see the Ring as a model for Proust's gigantic novel.Eric Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312033917401203598noreply@blogger.com
