the real question is what's up with the person taking a "grad class devoted to Ulysses" who's mad that it has a lot of of scholarship devoted to it. Like, how do you begin to get a graduate level education in literature if you find the idea of obsessively studying literature laughable? what are you even getting a degree for?
Actually maddening. The fact a book took a century to be fully understood by scholars should be appealing to you if you're doing a graduate degree in literature.

Some goof wrote a weird book that then took a century of academic navel gazing to figure out
Imagine if that time and effort had been spent helping people instead.
Dunno about grad school, but I've known English or Literature majors who don't read anything past YA fiction.
Maybe they thought it was about going really deep into Hunger Games lore or something.
