Review of 'James Joyce' on 'Storygraph'

Challenging and confusing for a non-native English speaker. Some passages were beautiful, but otherwise difficult.

I feel like it's a good book, but I just couldn't finish it. I don't know what it was, it's just the whole book felt annoying to read through. Nothing really happens and stuff is described well, which is like every other Murakami book, but in this case, it just felt like work.
