read Finnegan's wake first, than it makes sense.

Bought the ticket that exploded at a used book store because the synopsis sounded interesting (it’s the 2nd book in this trilogy) and I got about halfway before losing interest because it’s nonsensical.

That being said I treated it as a very sensual experience. I simply read and received the images and tried not to fixate on any one thing. This helped me enjoy. Like poetry I guess.

I thought The Wild Boys was better; had a more cohesive story about a violent revolution led by teen boys (and fueled by gay sex, drugs and anti-religion, but hey, consider the source).
I read Naked Lunch and didn't like it nearly as much as The Wild Boys.

i don't think it is or is even supposed to be this. do you hallucinate in jammed semiotics? you might have brain damage.

Anyone else read the Red Night trilogy? It perfectly encapsulates all of his work into 3 distinct novels that are thinly interconnected by perpendicular narratives.
