WAKE: Cold Reading Finnegans Wake

Episode 8: 1.4 (Part 2), pp90-103


Listen Later

This week is the total piece of work that Wagner dreamed of, with GMWKS co-creator Jordan Morille joining Toby and TJ to take on the Wake! With a baby on his hip, and delving deep into his actor's experience, Jordan popcorn-reads from the second half of 1.4, where we meet disguised ex-nuns, Dirty Daddy Pantaloons, and TJ's 'Wake' tattoo quotation. Then, we consider the gesamtkunstwerk, Dada, Sigur Rós, and the immortal question: just what is Joyce's deal?

Progress: 103 pages complete, 525 pages to go; 16.4% read.
