Question, could Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction incorporate the mindset of Ulysses or Ulysses incorporate the mindset of Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction? Meaning by “mindset” the relationship of the writer to his writing.
Answer is no because they are essentially the same mindset but writing a different level of abstraction (Stevens being the more abstract.) Stevens could not be a character in Ulysses, thinking Notes, any more than the vocabulary of Notes could mingle with that of Ulysses.
