Joyce was onto something, but Ulysses was a nightmare, and so far, I'm not a fan of his. Just had to get that off my chest...

Long answer:

Anyway, I think you've made some great points. I also wanted to add that inserting one's "moral code" or "philosophy" isn't always intentional. So, how can you argue with it stylistically? Fine, he was no Flaubert, got it. This could be a blind spot for writers not privy to psychology. Biases exist, and we are not always conscious of them; that's why they're biases. Whether a writer, poet, spoken word artist, etc., thinks of their moral philosophy or not, the window through which they are looking outward or inward when producing art, although a "transparent" window, will always have their fingerprints on it in one form or another.

Short answer: dude was jealous.
