The ending of Kafka's The Castle

Martin Starr reading James Joyce's dirty love letters

This is very seriously not safe for work, and if you are easily offended by dirty talk, you need to keep on scrolling and save yourself the aggravation. Although I think it's funny that the article was like, "Wow, the dude who wrote Ulysses was a dirty bird?" I never finished Ulysses, but I've read enough to know that Joyce was a dirty bird, even in Ulysses. There was an obscenity trial and everything. I do like people reading out incongruous things on the Internets though.
