Subject: Heidegger and Joyce


Has anything been written on Heidegger and James Joyce?

Also, on a related yet seperate note, is it know weather Heidegger read
Joyce at all?


It seems to me that Joyce, especially in Ulysses (and also Finnegan's
Wake), can be read as doing a similar thing in literature to what
Heidegger did in philosophy.  For instance (among others), H's
subject/object destruction, and the priority of engaged activity over
theoretical contemplation  : the stream-of-consciousness method of Joyce
which does not present the story in so-called 'objective' terms as does
traditional literature.  

What do you think?
