Podcasts about Finnegans Wake

Cette semaine, pas de cinéma, nouvelle exploration de l'univers d'un écrivain par son Verbe et la musique, c'est la mixtake numéro 53 de la maison de la rédaction, spéciale William Burroughs.L'écrivain né de la fusion des esprits et de la pensée de la Beat Generation était un poète-machine, le cerveau dérivant dans l'Interzone, narrateur des mondes spéculatifs, explorateur des formes et inventeur d'une nouvelle littérature, qui pense, agit et déchire les univers visibles pour, non révéler, mais faire advenir l'invisible.Il s'appelait William Seward Burroughs, humble praticien du métier de scribe – Sergent Major de l'Escadron Shakespeare pendant la guerre dont personne ne sait rien sauf ceux qui y ont participé, quand toute la cabine à chiottes était sur le point de sauter. (12 avril 1997 – Ultimes Paroles)Cette mixtake a été orchestrée par El Comandante, avec l'indispensable savante contribution de Friedrich Marlenstahl, membre de la branche Service Action du Politburo du Front Gauche de l'Art.01 Prégénérique / William's Welcome (Dead City Radio)02 Extrait / Burroughs: The Movie (Howard Brookner)03 Marianne Faithfull & Master Musicians of Joujouka / My Only Friend04 WSB / Spare Ass Annie05 WSB & Gus Van Sant / Word Is Virus06 Extrait / Drugstore Cowboy07 Brion Gysin, Frederic Cousseau, Yann Le Ker, Ramuntcho Matta / Junk08 BFY / Burroughs Called The Law09 Dave Ball, Genisis P.

Par contre, si vous écrivez sans y croire, vous ne produirez que de la merde. Le métier a beaucoup d'inconvénients ? Bien sûr, vous pouvez sortir d'une villa aux Bahamas en chevauchant un requin blanc ou vous pouvez passer vingt ans à écrire Le Grand Livre que personne ne pourra lire. James Joyce a écrit quelques unes des meilleures pages de prose en littérature - Les Morts, Les Gens de Dublin - mais pouvait-il en rester là et se cantonner à des histoires délicieuses à propos des Catholiques irlandais malheureux ? Si ça avait été le cas, le monde l'aurait récompensé en lui accordant le prix Nobel. Maintenant personne n'a jamais dit à un docteur : "Ecoute, toubib, tes opérations du cul sont vraiment extra, beaucoup de tantouzes te sont reconnaissantes de pouvoir continuer à se faire enculer mais faudrait qu'tu trouves quelque chose de nouveau" -. Naturellement, il n'a pas à trouver quelque chose. C'est toujours le même bon vieux cul. Mais un écrivain doit produire du neuf, ou il doit standardiser son produit - l'un ou l'autre. Ainsi je pourrais standardiser le produit Peter Pan-Pédé-Garçon Sauvage, et en sortir un tous les ans comme la série des Tarzan ; ou bien je pourrais écrire un Finnegans Wake. Aussi, j'ai cette idée au sujet d'un privé et des Cités de la nuit rouge. Quien sabe ?" (WSB "Le temps des assassins")

We can't believe it. Can you believe it? We actually finished reading Finnegans Wake. What started out as a podcast to read an "unreadable book" has turned into a journey that has endeared us to a magical community, connected with our family and friends, and reawakened our sense of what art can be. While sometimes it felt like climbing a sheer cliff-face, the toeholds we gained along the way made this a delightfully fulfilling project. For this final episode, Toby and TJ look back on WAKE and consider how you know when a project is over, embracing confusion, and how much we appreciate the spectators at the end of a marathon. We talk Joyce on film, Pinter, the Beatles, Lord of the Rings, and hypertexts, and pinpoint the exact moment the Harry Potter franchise lost TJ. We take on translation, and gimmicks, and mountaineering, and the question of how-fast-is-too-fast-to-read-the-Wake. Then, as we consider the stadium-sized Rubik's Cube that is the Wake, we are visited by the Patron Saint of WAKE for words of congratulations. It's an unmissable end to what has indeed proven to be a surprisingly listenable podcast.This week's chatters: Toby Malone, TJ YoungProgress: 628 pages complete, 0 pages to go; 100% read.Contextual NotesThe Patron Saint of WAKEMichael Ian Black congratulates WAKE!

There's nothing quite like ticking off a bucket list item, and today is the day, where Toby and TJ come to the end of the long reading road to finally finish Finnegans Wake. Before we get there, though, we have superstar guest Neil Wechsler to guide us through his favourite section of the book, along with passionate opinions on Hollywood hypocrisy, problematic shortcuts, and how the unique structure of the Wake is not a joke, nor a gimmick, but in fact proof that the human race is not entirely doomed. Joyce gives us an ending that's worth the wait, and feels well earned, as the pain of the cycle ends in a note of hope. We may have finished with the Wake, but we have a feeling it's not quite finished with us yet.This week's readers: Neil Wechsler, Toby Malone, TJ YoungProgress: 628 pages complete, 0 pages to go; 100% read.Contextual NotesJames Joyce Collection at the University at Buffalo: https://library.buffalo.edu/jamesjoyce/The Wake at the UB collection: https://library.buffalo.edu/jamesjoyce/catalog/vi-finnegans-wake/A proposed JJ museum through the Buffalo collection: https://library.buffalo.edu/jamesjoyce/pdf/james-joyce-museum.pdf Joyce-again's wake: An analysis of Finnegans wake, Bernard Benstock: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331509.Joyce_again_s_wake A Reader's Guide to Finnegans Wake, William York Tindall: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59480.A_Reader_s_Guide_to_Finnegans_Wake Jeffrey Jarome Cohen: Monster Culture: Seven Theses: https://ptfaculty.gordonstate.edu/rscoggins/Cohen,%20Monster%20Culture%20(Seven%20Theses),%203-20.pdf Sorry Finn https://pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/en/persons/finn-fordham Benstock, Bernard.

In the grand tradition of Finnegans Wake, WAKE has looped back around on itself to become a self-generating machine, as we welcome back musical innovator and the most reckless of stramashers, Tommy Mackay, to talk about WAKE: the Album! Yes, this very podcast is honoured to be the inspiration for at least half the tracks on Tommy's new (stra)mash-up album of music, smashing WAKE readings into the music of Taylor Swift, Wham!, Devo, and more, with more groan-worthy dad-joke pun titles than you could possibly handle. There's a sailor on a horse! There's an invitation to suck a sugarstick! There's Gráinne O'Malley's girl power!

Book Four is upon us, and it is with mixed feelings, both excited and sad, that we launch into the final segments of Finnegans Wake. Helping us along the way is fan-favourite WAKE veteran, internationally-acclaimed author, Lucy "old rubberskin" Brazier, who helps us get into a typically ribald discussion of Simlish, Instagram thots, tortoise dreams, terrible superhero names, fan fiction, and a plan for a Biddy the Hen statue in Phoenix Park.

If sleep is the panacea of all ills, WAKE has found the very experts who can tell you exactly why that's the case! On this week's special bonus episode, Toby and TJ welcome internationally renowned neuroscientists, Professors Adrian Peyrache and Arjun Krishnaswamy, to talk about what's going on inside our brains while we sleep. In an episode that's part TED Talk and part HCE Talk, we break down insights into the sleeping brain, including how memory relies on good sleep hygiene, sleep paralysis, brain compasses, real-time dreaming, and how mice dream of mazes. We hear Adrien's critique of the science of ‘Inception,' position the Wake as the first-ever Large Language Model, and finally gain definitive proof of who the dreamer is. Oh, and with a whole section on erotic dream-infused cave paintings, this is a discussion that will definitely not put you to sleep. This week's chatters: Adrien Peyrache, Arjun Krishnaswamy, Toby Malone, TJ YoungReferencesAdrien's bio: https://www.mcgill.ca/neurology-neurosurgery/adrien-peyrache-phd Adrien's lab: https://www.peyrachelab.com/researchArjun's bio: https://www.mcgill.ca/physiology/directory/core-faculty/arjun-krishnaswamy Arjun's lab: https://www.swamylab.com/ Sleep's Hidden Superpower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbpidNKc5cwWhat a Sleep Specialist Has to Say About the Dreaminess of Finnegans Wake https://lithub.com/what-a-sleep-specialist-has-to-say-about-the-dreaminess-of-finnegans-wake/Joyce's Book of the Dark, John Bishop: https://archive.org/details/joycesbookofdark00bish The Nighttime madness of “Finnegans Wake” https://argumentativeoldgit.wordpress.com/2021/10/13/the-nighttime-madness-of-finnegans-wake/ The Bluesky account recreating the Wake on LLMshttps://bsky.app/profile/funferall.bsky.social The Lascaux cave painting of a dream (including the erection)https://www.reddit.com/r/Naturewasmetal/comments/fct360/lascaux_cave_painting_depicts_a_hunter_getting/#lightbox Stan Carey's Putting language to sleep in Finnegans Wakehttps://stancarey.wordpress.com/2011/06/16/putting-language-to-sleep-in-finnegans-wake/For early drops, community and show notes, join us at our free Patreon, at⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/wakepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or check out our Linktree, at⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/wake.pod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Flushed with their firestuffostered friendship, WAKE celebrates St. Patrick's Day by exploring all of the many ways that Finnegans Wake refers to whiskey: Ireland's beloved, potent créatúr. Joined by world whiskey historian and former Sweny's volunteer Fionnán O'Connor, we explode some myths regarding monks, St Patrick, and potatoes, brush off our pub stool wisdom, prepare the worm on our darling little stills, and consider the role trust plays in what is simultaneously the oldest and youngest whiskey industry in the world. So, tuck yourself into a snug in your local shebeen with a ball of malt, and don't forget to get in on a round: we bet you can't stay for just one.

Ever have trouble remembering things? Phone numbers? Grocery lists? Names of casual acquaintances? If so, get ready to feel very self-conscious, because on this week's WAKE, we meet the indomitable Neal Kosaly-Meyer, a musician who decided, entirely of his own volition, to spend seventeen years memorising and performing the entirety of Finnegans Wake. Seriously. Toby and TJ caught Neal as he prepared to take on the punishing 'Tales From the Inn' chapter (premiering December 2025!), where we discuss memorisation, how the Wake is like music that most people neglect to play, rhythm, and, of course, offer WAKE's first and definitive opinion on Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl.

Peter O'Brien is an artist, a visionary, and a life-long Joycean, with the energy to not only dream up one major Finnegans Wake-centric artistic offshoot, but is busy scheming about how to top it. We first became aware of Peter as a brilliant artist, using “letterism” to artistically annotate the pages of Finnegans Wake. Exhibited around the world and widely published, most would be satisfied with that: but not Peter, who is now pouring his unmatched attention into a new opera despite (by his own admission) knowing little about music. Join us on this fascinatingly palimpsestuous discussion that touches on the nature of genius, memorisation, Glenn Gould, Virgil, nudity, and Wagner, and shows us that you may think you can be finished with the Wake, but it's never really finished with you.

fWotD Episode 2830: James Joyce Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 2 February 2025 is James Joyce.James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist, poet and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist avant-garde movement and is regarded as one of the most influential and important writers of the 20th century. Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922) is a landmark in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, particularly stream of consciousness. Other well-known works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include three books of poetry, a play, letters, and occasional journalism.Joyce was born in Dublin into a middle-class family. He attended the Jesuit Clongowes Wood College in County Kildare, then, briefly, the Christian Brothers–run O'Connell School. Despite the chaotic family life imposed by his father's unpredictable finances, he excelled at the Jesuit Belvedere College and graduated from University College Dublin in 1902. In 1904, he met his future wife, Nora Barnacle, and they moved to mainland Europe. He briefly worked in Pula and then moved to Trieste in Austria-Hungary, working as an English instructor. Except for an eight-month stay in Rome working as a correspondence clerk and three visits to Dublin, Joyce resided there until 1915. In Trieste, he published his book of poems Chamber Music and his short story collection Dubliners, and he began serially publishing A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in the English magazine The Egoist. During most of World War I, Joyce lived in Zürich, Switzerland, and worked on Ulysses. After the war, he briefly returned to Trieste and then moved to Paris in 1920, which became his primary residence until 1940.Ulysses was first published in Paris in 1922, but its publication in the United Kingdom and the United States was prohibited because of its perceived obscenity. Copies were smuggled into both countries and pirated versions were printed until the mid-1930s, when publication finally became legal. Joyce started his next major work, Finnegans Wake, in 1923, publishing it sixteen years later in 1939. Between these years, Joyce travelled widely. He and Nora were married in a civil ceremony in London in 1931. He made a number of trips to Switzerland, frequently seeking treatment for his increasingly severe eye problems and psychological help for his daughter, Lucia. When France was occupied by Germany during World War II, Joyce moved back to Zürich in 1940. He died there in 1941 after surgery for a perforated ulcer, at age 58.Ulysses frequently ranks high in lists of great books, and the academic literature analysing his work is extensive and ongoing. Many writers, film-makers, and other artists have been influenced by his stylistic innovations, such as his meticulous attention to detail, use of interior monologue, wordplay, and the radical transformation of traditional plot and character development. Though most of his adult life was spent abroad, his fictional universe centres on Dublin and is largely populated by characters who closely resemble family members, enemies and friends from his time there. Ulysses in particular is set in the streets and alleyways of the city. Joyce is quoted as saying, "For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal."This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:49 UTC on Sunday, 2 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see James Joyce on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Niamh.

EPISODE 129 | The Fermi Paradox: Here Comes Nobody If we are not unique as a species, an intelligent one that builds civilizations, then there must be lots and lots of other civilizations out there in the galaxy and the rest of the universe beyond. But if so, where the hell is everybody? That's the question at the heart of the Fermi Paradox. And this has kicked off a chain of reasoning and speculation that crosses disciplinary boundaries, and lets us start to envision, not just what might be out there, but where we ourselves want to go as a global civilization.

I hope you have your alarm set, because the dreamer is stirring! Toby and TJ welcome old friend Jason Rothery--acclaimed playwright, novelist, and fellow theatre survivor--to to help us read 3.4: 'Dawn.' In typical incisive form, Jason unleashes insight and enthusiasm as James Joyce acquires himself a brand new fan. From considerations of Finnegans Wake comprehension akin to the Suzuki method of music instruction, to the Jabberwocky, the Marx Brothers, and André 3000's flute album, no topic is off limits, as we skim the surface, ponder translation, and think about how Joyce teaches us to "mean differently."

There are few things more synonymous with Ireland as a creamy, rich pint of Guinness. Plenty of time has been spent on James Joyce's relationship with the black stuff, yet few have really considered just how much of a role Guinness plays in Finnegans Wake. Through dozens of allusions, references, and cunning puns, the pride of St. James's Gate bears out an outsized presence through the dream-life of HC Earwicker, and for this special New Years Eve episode, Toby and TJ take a break from reading the Wake to clean a glass, pour to the harp, let it settle, top it off, then try to split the G. Our hearts are full, and our glasses are too: let's raise a glass to Joyce, the Wake, and a potential future Guinness sponsorship for the podcast!

Grab your torches and buffs, it's time for another episode of Survivor: Finnegans Wake edition... Experts say that the best way to manage unprocessed trauma is to talk it through, to normalise what you've experienced. Here at WAKE we are all about offering all angles and perspectives on Finnegans Wake: and it was only a matter of time until we interviewed someone who did not enjoy the experience! Fascinating polyglot Ana Dahlberg is a professed lover of Joyce, a participant in Bloomsday festivities, and is a certified member of an extremely exclusive club: she has survived finishing Finnigans Wake. Today, we talk to Ana about her experience, which ran the gamut of emotions, from frustration to exasperation to bewilderment to rage, and all the way back again, in such a fashion that the only way she could describe it was to suggest Morrissey write a song about her and the book that just doesn't care what she thinks. In this delightful, non-reading episode, join Toby and TJ with Ana, with the rarest of insights about how it feels to actually finish the Wake (spoiler: not as satisfying as you'd hope).

The hundred-letter 'thunderwords' are arguably the most enduring, well-known, and mystifying feature of Finnegans Wake, jumbles of letters cobbling together words from far-flung languages to create a word salad of difficulty that seems to stand as emblematic of the overall challenges of the Wake. In this bonus episode, we spend a few minutes considering all ten thunderwords, their 1001 letters, and the insight of eminent Wake scholars including Marshall McLuhan, Eric McLuhan, and Bernard Benstock. Now that WAKE has spoken all ten thunderwords, we have mashed them all together, in case you've ever desperately wanted to hear what they all sound like, entirely butchered, in chronological order, with no breaks.

Richard Harte is one of the world's preeminent interpreters of Joyce: a 25 year veteran of Bloomsday performances, and the undisputed star of One Little Goat Theatre Company's parallel (not competing) Finnegans Wake podcast, currently under development as a film and exhaustive live chronicle of the Earwicker clan. When Toby joined the audience to watch his old friend Richard perform 1.5 of the Wake at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library last week, he knew we had to get Richard on to talk about the Wake: and talk he did! In this joyful bonus episode, hear all about how many times Richard has read the Wake (the answer may surprise you!), the spiritual feeling of walking the Dublin locations of the book, the logistics of preparing the live readings, and plans for the future. It's a crossover episode, and we couldn't be happier to have Richard along with us.

As the whiskey and Guinness flow, the Tales at the Inn get all the more outlandish, Taff and Butt get out of hand, and a Russian general cops it. This week in WAKE, we geek out about geeking out with Carly Derderian, consider whether Thornton Wilder cribbed The Skin of Our Teeth from Finnegans Wake, relax our mouths enough to speak like a Newfoundlander and unlock the meaning of the language of the Beatles.

Book Two is underway at the Wake, and it's taking the voices spanning three different continents to take us there. This week Toby and TJ are joined by the delightful Brit Lucy Brazier, author of Finnegans What? Finnegans Wake - a Guide by an Idiot to discuss inappropriate sibling games, river poo, Oscar Wilde, underwear fetishes, and Francophobia. Despite her book's subtitle, Lucy is no idiot, but offers insight and humour that demonstrate the value of re-reading, even we are all left in a state of merry confusion.

Finnegans Wake is a band formed in 1974 at the County Cork Pub in Springfield, Illinois. John C. Van Orman, William J. Furry, and Bill Rintz joined together bound by a love of traditional American and British Isles music. They research many of the traditional songs in their repertoire. Even though they now live in different states, they get back together to perform and tour. They perform August 24, 2024, 7:30 p.m. at Salem on Seventh in Petersburg.The three multi-instrumentalists join Community Voices to discuss their music, vocals, and friendship.

For this week's perzacto episode, we are joined by world-changing director and all-round delight Aili Huber, as we consider the first half of the least user-friendly quiz in literary history. We have our first ever tap-out (it's easy to get lost on the page if your eye wanders), consider Dr Seuss, the gish gallop, and e.e. cummings, before we bring it all home by considering how Finnegans Wake might fit within the parameters of Aili and Toby's 2021 book Cutting Plays for Performance.

The attacks come thick and fast on HCE in this week's reading of WAKE, from court appearances to name-calling, from canoodling to gun violence, it's amazing that he's able to rest at all.

WAKE rolls on like so many thunderwords, as we explore the first part of Chapter 1.2 of Finnegans Wake.

The Old Dogs ramble about the little things that make life worth living. We wonder if some private yachts might actually be too big. We play another round of "I Saw it on the Boob Tube." We visit a book club that took 28 years to read Finnegans Wake. We celebrate the idea of the Golden Bachelor. And we promote the use of old words we think should make a comeback. The Old Dogs Conversation is with Susan Lieberman. A person who has discovered that in the limitations of being old, there is opportunity.

A book club in California, that has spent almost three decades reading “Finnegans Wake” has completed the book. Starting in 1995, the group would show up to monthly meetings at a local library and read two pages a month, eventually slowing to just one page per discussion. Gerry Fialka who is a member of the club joined Tom Dunne.

The Cosmic Library is back, with a five-episode season on Journey to the West, the classic 16th-century Chinese novel of comic mischief, spirituality, bureaucratic maneuvers, and superpowered fight scenes. It's the story of a monk's journey west for Buddhist texts, and that journey is moved along by the rambunctious Monkey King, whose interests include troublemaking and the pursuit of immortality. In film, television, comic books, videogames, and elsewhere, this book remains in pop culture; for example, its story is woven into the new Disney+ streaming series American Born Chinese (based on a graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang). And it's also the right book to include on The Cosmic Library shelf alongside Finnegans Wake, 1,001 Nights, and the Hebrew Bible—it's full of transformations, dream-like scenes, and surprising complications.  This season, we'll hear readings from the book and talk about Buddhism, Daoism, cinema, comedy, and more. There's a lot here. Journey to the West continually jolts the reader toward some joke, spiritual consideration, or satirical deflation of such considerations. Gene Luen Yang has described, in his foreword to Julia Lovell's recent translation of Journey to the West, how tales of the Monkey King worked in his childhood as bedtime stories. And in this season of The Cosmic Library, you'll hear how it's the kind of book to read into the night, into the dream-like realm where categories blur, where thoughts and moods shift continually.  Guests this season will include Julia Lovell, whose recent translation of Journey to the West is titled Monkey King; Karen Fang, scholar of literature and cinema at the University of Houston— she's now working on a biography of Disney legend Tyrus Wong; D. Max Moerman, scholar of religion at Columbia; and Xiaofei Tian, scholar of literature at Harvard. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Cosmic Library explores massive books in order to explore everything else. Here, books that can seem overwhelming—books of dreams, infinity, mysteries—turn out to be intensely accessible, offering so many different ways to read them and think with them. Season one considered Finnegans Wake; in season two, it was 1,001 Nights; season three, the Hebrew Bible. This spring, in a season titled "The Hall of the Monkey King," we're talking and thinking about Journey to the West, the fantastical Chinese novel full of action and comedy and spiritual adventure. Guests for season four will include Julia Lovell, whose recent translation of Journey to the West is titled Monkey King; Karen Fang, scholar of literature and cinema at the University of Houston; Xiaofei Tian, scholar of literature at Harvard; and D. Max Moerman, scholar of religion at Columbia. The five episodes will come out weekly, starting in late spring of 2023. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
