I realized this much later when I was reading a book on screenwriting that used Ulysses for examples of storytelling techniques, and the fact that Joyce is considered modernist, not post-, also started making a lot more sense, the novel works on both levels at once.
But in any case, it's more entertaining as puzzle, than as story. Reading Ulysses made even Carl Jung fall asleep — it's his work that introduced me to Joyce. In a way you're in good company😁
