She may have been talking about Joyce's Ulysses, which contained
               some  new invented words,  like   [snotgreen sea]    ------- or Joyce's FW
           Joyce's  Ulysses   killed (eclipsed)   her great novel.
James Joyce was famous for his wordplay and invention of new words in Ulysses. Here are some examples:
Coinages:  These are entirely new words not found in any dictionary before Ulysses. Some examples include:
Ripripple: Describes something flowing like rippling water.
Bullockbefriending: A playful term for someone friendly with animals.
Snotshotten: A rather unpleasant word for someone with a runny nose.
Tattarrattat: An onomatopoeic word for a knocking sound.
           Portmanteaus:  These are words created by blending two existing words. Some examples include:
Homesweethome: A combination of "home" and "sweet home."
Greensleeves: Possibly a combination of "green" and "sleeves."
Afterhours: A combination of "after" and "hours." (Though this might seem common today, it was new at the time)
          Neologisms:  These are new words formed from existing morphemes (meaningful units of words). Some examples include:
Unlove: The opposite of love.
Onlookerish: Behaving like an onlooker.
Nightnoiseful: Full of night noises.
