But this was directed at people who actually took (wasted) the time to read through it.

Finnegans Wake is one of the most fun books ever written.
It's peak sillycore.

It's sad to think of how much time he devoted to the project (20 years, if I recall correctly), and how many other, better works of conventional style he could have written in the time.

He already wrote Ulysses so he earned the right to do whatever the fuck he wanted.

wasn't he totally creatively depleted by Ulysses? Like he felt that everything that he could have possibly done with a novel was done with Ulysses, so he said fuk it and made FW

What if I have merely pretended to read Finnegans Wake?

“An old canard, reeled off incessantly by people who haven’t read “Finnegans Wake,” or at least haven’t understood it, holds that “you need to hear it spoken aloud in order to appreciate it.” This is nonsense: Joyce’s novel, wrapped around in silence, is all about legibility — inscriptions, codices, scattered scraps of paper in need of reassembly, exegesis or decoding”

The best thing about Finnegans Wake is that it's immediately accessible to anyone with a thorough classical education

>> No.12388938

Ummm, okay, sweetie? You actually write the book yourself when you read it? What are you, a pleb?
Joyce wanted it to be a catalyst for more creative endeavor? He's writing in the language of the astral plane? Hello?

If you can't understand finnegans wake you have an IQ below 150. Above that it becomes a triviality.

Daily reminder that this is the kind of pretentious asshole who likes Finnegans Wake.
