The literati’s need to push the drunken ramblings of Joyce as literature is all the proof any sane person will ever need that the literati are idiots that just want to torture people. If you really must worship drunken ramblings just go to a bar, it’ll be more fun.

It's not just literati, it's other writers. He's probably the most influential writer of the 20th century...Faulkner, Virginia Woolf, Pynchon, Foster Wallace all inconcievable without him. And who cares if he was a drinker? That has no bearing on reading ‘The Dead’ which is very precisely crafted and bears no signs of carelessness.
