Likewise is also heavily influenced by James Joyce’s Ulysses. The writing style of Joyce is incorporated into Schrag’s work but instead in the form of a graphic novel. Though told in a straightforward fashion, some portions of the comic drift off from Ariel’s storytelling and go on a tangent (such as Schrag talking with her friends about the “It” factor. This writing style challenges the audience to trail off with the author and Scharg does this many times throughout the graphic novel keeping the reader engaged.

Ariel Schrag: Likewise 
I looked up some information on James Joyce’s Ulysses and how Ariel took inspiration from it and a lot of people seem to agree with this. This reviewer, in particular, gave some good information on how she sees the comparison between the two in terms of writing: https://feministmusicgeek.com/2010/07/24/ariel-schrags-likewise/

That’s so cool that you compared the two writing styles. I looked it up, and you’re right. I do see the correlation. I find myself reading through some of Joyce’s quotes from his works and I would like to share some of it with you: check it out! https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/2368224-ulysses

There are similarities between Ariel’s work and that of James Joyce. Both use tangents to trail off in the story keeping the author locked in to the though process of the author. I have found a link that shows a closer look at the similarities between the two works.
