Oh should add - Joyce tells Power that he'd intended Ulysess to be a comedy -as well as a tragedy. That Portrait was in some respects the naive dream, while Ulysess is the entry into the missed opportunitys and comic failings of adulthood. Power had preferred Portrait and Joyce more or less defends Ulysess as the greater work - the one he, as the creator, felt more proud of.
