>roiding for this

How does one read this? Clearly conventional methods don't work. The man has obliterated writing into sensory experience, "mouth-feel", pure aesthetics, no regard for even a singular language (apparently words from 45 different languages are used), grammar or recognizable syntactic structure.

Commentary? If so which is best? And if not, where do I start?
>inb4 the greeks
Is it possible, that the entirety of western literature is encompassed in this single book? Does one read this to understand all else, or all else, to understand this? Is it even possible to understand this if one isn't Joyce himself?

Is Ulysses better?

What's the verdict?

>be new to reading plen
>mom asks what do I want for my birthday

>mom comes back from the bookstore
>they didnt have the book you wanted anon
>feels slightly bad
>but they had this, is from the same author and the guy at the bookstore said it is good
>is actually pic related
What do?

What does /lit/ think of these readings of Joyce's Finnegans Wake? Certainly one of the more, erm, interesting renditions I've found.

I wonder if this reader will get the whole thing up or crap out like all the others so far on YT

Is this worth reading? Is there anything substantial to get out of it?

Can we agree that allusion is the plebbest literary device? It's literally the literary equivalent of name dropping.

>First go like this, spin around stop! Double take three times! One! Two! Three! Then, PELVIC THRUST! WOOOOOO! WOOOOO! Stop on your right foot don't forget it! Now it's time to bring it around town! Bring it around town! Then you do this and this and this and that and this and that and this and that and then-

YOU GUYS CANT STOP ME, IM GOING TO DO IT, IM GOING TO READ THIS AND ENJOY IT
