By 1976 I was pretty thoroughly immersed in wading through the Collected Works of C.G. Jung as well as those books which appeared to have been most influential in his thinking. Joyce, whose daughter Jung analyzed, was repeatedly referenced, usually to his Ulysses. I had tried that one in high school and found it too difficult, but a friend recommended his first publication, Dubliners, a collection of fourteen short stories and one novella depicting Irish life prior to independence.
The stories are delightfully colorful, not at all difficult like Ulysses or Finnigan's Wake.
