James Joyce & St Patrick's Day

[Tim Szeliga]

Somewhere in Finnegans Wake, St Patrick meets a druid and is converted.
Here are some Joyce-related files on my drive, except the one I was looking for:

Milo O'Shea reading "Shem the Penman (chapter 7 of Finnegans Wake)" with
Siobhán McKenna  reading the washerwomen scene from Anna Livia Plurabelle

(ch 8 of FW). 

 

Ulysses was the greatest book of the last century, but FW might be the greatest

of the 21st.  Give it time.

 

Here is "A Painful Case" from Dubliners,
Robert Anton (Illuminatus) Wilson on the

best way to read Finnegans Wake,
and a chapter of FW.

I hate to seem like an ingrate, but any chance of getting the rest of Dubliners? Thanks.

Thanks for this cornupopeia of Joyce. I just heard the Roaratorio for the first time yesterday and I think it sounds like stream of consciousness radio drama. A life-changing experience. Now I get to have my own copy. I will gobble up this treasure with relish.

Thanks again.

Arrrgh!   Not Milo O'Shea, it was Cyril Cusack reading Shem the Penman.

I've got it somewhere, on a dead hard drive or one of a hundred scratchy CDs.

 

Shem is short for Seamus as Jem is joky for Jacob. 

A few toughnecks are still getattible...

The psychedelic Terrence McKenna writes "Surfing on Finnegans Wake".
