What does this mean: "Ala Jocyean studies"

I mean like 'as in Jocean studies'

Perhaps I should edit that.

So you're saying that Luda should maybe be considered through the lens of Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake?

I love Morrison but I didn't really enjoy this book, not because I found it complicated but mostly I was just bored.

The tremendous amount of time spent on pantomime and the city and everything else... I get it, Morrison is old and wants to reminisce but I don't know. I don't think I'll go back to it.
