Everyone in this family has character flaws, and their relationships are cold and nihilistic. This funeral journey is really a pure ritual of suffering
To be honest, my heart is very dry right now and I can't read classics at all.
I used to like Joyce
It's been two chapters, when will consciousness begin to flow?
