In his Latin translation of the Wake, Adam Roberts came up with the imperative 'flumenflue', ('river flow'): 'In this opening line Joyce is ordering his river to flow (ordering in more than one sense).'

I have just jumped into Joyce, some thirty or forty years back. I am putting on a one-man rendering of the ALP chapter and find a tiny New York theatre to do it in. I learn it all, I learned it well. The result: I discovered that I had almost forgotten what anybody found so frightfully difficult about it. It seemed quite straightforward. It was a shock to realize this. richard stackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852783880250202361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244755472982220611.post-15684135539252014272017-12-02T20:05:20.112-06:002017-12-02T20:05:20.112-06:00Since reading tends to proceed linearly, the text ...Since reading tends to proceed linearly, the text of the book could be thought of as not just a sea, but itself a river - one long line, folded to fit in pages, and ultimately reconnecting like a 200,000 word Mobius Strip.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385614830457076667noreply@blogger.com
