what the fuck?
i feel like he should've had to answer for some of this shit. the harsh phonetic spellings for seemingly no reason and random spam really get me
you're not supposed to read it at all

ok thanks
Puns like "toot and come in" a reference to Tutankhamun and Finnegan "Fin again", references to the cyclical nature humanity and Egyptian reincarnation are pretty common. He extensively references Hindu/Eastern myths and much of his language is chosen to express certain religious and psychological truths.
It really separates the men from the boys. The only way to "read" it is by audiobook tapes.
You listen to a round where on page one, a stereo tape plays (with an osculation between both channels), then you play a second (mono all the rest after 1,1 are mono) tape from the beginning when the begins page 2, then, when the tape reaches page 3 play a third tape from the beginning, when the first tape reaches page 5 play a fourth tape. Continue this for pages 8,13,21,34,55,89,144 etc playing new tapes when the first tape reaches each of these pages. YOU are page "0" and the work is page zero. O it's not over yet my bumpkins, when the first tape finishes the book you reset the tape and againbeginFinneganbeginagain you keep going ad infinitum until you starve to death, you are NOT allowed to eat or sleep. Water is okay.
it's shitposting-the novel

This. Finnegans Wake is meant to be read aloud.
Also: Joyce died soon after, so no, he wouldn't have to answer for it.
