New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for October 01, 2019

I’m going to Howth Castle.

Try “Ulysses”, then. I double dast ya. ;-)

Compared to “Finnegans Wake”, Trump’s tweets are coherent. BTW, there is no apostrophe in “Finnegans”. Sorry, Pab.

I think the point here is that no one reads this novel, outside of literature students being forced at gunpoint, so one one has a clue what happens in it.

(Don’t worry, li’l rabbit. No one ever gets the punchlines around here. We’re all in the same boat, your ears will make excellent paddles.)

BUNNY!

I’m looking forward to ‘War and Peace.’

The 2 panels in the middle are dead empty and the last one is where humor died? #wokewake

Goodreads says: “Finnegans Wake is Joyce’s masterpiece, the culmination of his life’s work, the apex of his art, the tremendous final achievement of the 20th century’s greatest prose stylist. To ignore Joyce’s masterpiece is to miss out on one of a handful of great events in literary history.” I can’t say whether this is true – I haven’t tried to read it.

It took James Joyce 17 years to write Finnegans Wake. By all rights it should take someone 17 years to read, and given how much Gaeilge and Irish history and culture and other languages and stream of consciousness is found in that magnum opus, I don’t find that unreasonable.

I guess he didn’t wake.
