Onomatopoeia

Episode 11. Sirens. Just finished it. Not a big fan. This one is just really hard to follow. One of my main complaints is the theme of the episode (or “Art,” according to Joyce’s Linati schema) and the way Joyce tries to honor that theme, namely by attempting to “record” sounds on the page. He appears to be trying to capture sound in written words and it just comes across as totally intelligible. I appreciate the effort but most all words (except onomatopoeia) are words, not sounds.
