The  Finnegans Wake Challenge V

3/17/2020

James Joyce: Finnegans Wake (The Ballad of Persse O'Reilly)
For this year's challenge, I open my dog-eared copy of Finnegans Wake to page 44, to croak out my rendition of “The Ballad of Persse O'Reilly". *

(*From the French perce-oreille - or earwig, hence the cognomen of the hero of our story: Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker, whose rumored nefarious deeds are recounted herein.)

As with my previous entries from 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 - don't overthink it, just enjoy the ride.

Sláinte.

The Finnegans Wake Challenge IV

James Joyce: Finnegans Wake (Shem the Penman)
Picture
It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and time for my fourth annual reading from James Joyce’s linguistically challenging masterpiece.

This year, I turn to page 169, with the beginning of Joyce’s unflattering (and somewhat autobiographical) portrait of Shem the Penman.
 
As I’ve cautioned in my previous entries
from 2015, 2016 and 2017 . . .
 
Don’t try to figure it out. Just enjoy the ride.
 
Slaínte.
