It's not auto-reflexive, but I do think there's a sense in which Ulysses is about writing Ulysses as much as it a flimsy narrative (it's a good narrative, but it's flimsy). It is, of course, a monstrously 'difficult' book, but I think it's very consciously difficult. Unlike, say, Negative Dialectics which is the most ball-achingly impossible book I've ever read and is clearly written from the vista of perspicaciousness. I wouldn't condescend to recommend or defend Ulysses to Drone or anyone, but I would say it's a book for people who are interested in writing as much as they are reading. Interested not necessarily to write, but in writing. It's a bit Tristan chord, y'know?
