I read Kessler's review, found it interesting, thought-provoking, and worth the read. I found Steve Carey's comment rather peevish, not attacking the thoughts expressed but the man who expressed them so brilliantly. what can I say?

He can perform, and do a look-at-me routine that the late Anthony Burgess - another Joyce worshipper - would envy. But he's swallowed without digesting.
