Look, I fucking love this book but can we give it a rest already?
Every post on this shitty ass board that has to do with Ullyses is some moron blanket statementing that it's the greatest piece of shit ever farted and nobody has ever or will ever understand anything about it; or the same poster immediately writing a bait post stating the opposite.
Finnegan's Wake is more Ulysses than Ulysses anyway, but that's never mentioned because it isn't part of college curriculum.
Seriously, I bet most of you can't even name a theme outside of 'Kekkolding' or 'Irish'

no. not every post, Anon.
I vaguely remember a museum tour.
I couldn't agree more!
I've posted my thoughts on Joyce's best work elsewhere but, as you're a fan, I'll reproduce them here:
"I find that each chapter of Finnegans Wake can be taken alone as a canto.
In fact, in conversation with friends (usually over espresso), I prefer to refer to Finnegans wake as "The Cantos of Jim Joyce".
"Jim" because I feel that I've developed something of a bond with the bespectacled Irishman. You see, on my mother's side we're Irish. Imagine what it would be like having a mustache like his. I close my eyes and, when I concentrate, I can feel the tickle of whiskers, like a trace of pepper caught in the steam rising off of my grandmother's mashed potatoes-- caught, drawn in by my breath to rest just inside my left nostril and sending my nose into a nervous little wiggle."
Thoughts?
