Description: Have you ever tried to read that magnificent, cryptic book Finnegan’s Wake by James Joyce and put it down after a few pages?  The Wake seems cryptic because it was a form of natural language data compression that’s poetic, beautiful, and packs a lot of meaning into a small space.  Come learn the secrets of how to read it from someone who’s made it all the way through.  There will be handouts of pages from the book, audio of master interpreters reading the Wake, and key reference books to share during our group dig.
