WAKE: Cold Reading Finnegans Wake

Episode 35: 3.4 (Part 1), p555-572


Listen Later

I hope you have your alarm set, because the dreamer is stirring! Toby and TJ welcome old friend Jason Rothery--acclaimed playwright, novelist, and fellow theatre survivor--to to help us read 3.4: 'Dawn.' In typical incisive form, Jason unleashes insight and enthusiasm as James Joyce acquires himself a brand new fan. From considerations of Finnegans Wake comprehension akin to the Suzuki method of music instruction, to the Jabberwocky, the Marx Brothers, and André 3000's flute album, no topic is off limits, as we skim the surface, ponder translation, and think about how Joyce teaches us to "mean differently."

This week's readers: Toby Malone, TJ Young, Jason Rothery

Progress: 572 pages complete, 56 pages to go; 91.08% read.
