Wonderful, thanks! That's a puzzle in itself. Interestingly ALP means goblin in German. + Traum = nightmare. Many beauties, many sorrows.
Fun fact:
"Beach published Joyce’s controversial novel Ulysses in 1922, and kept the shop open until 1941, when she was forced to close after refusing to sell her last copy of Joyce’s Finnegans Wake to a Nazi officer."
This is the thing you really need to listen to. You wont be disapponted.
Thanks! I’ll check it out. Joyce lived for a while as a child about 10 minutes walk from my house
Who was that?? That was brilliant. The levels of references in those pages are beyond comprehension. I had to laugh at the part where he said he skipped some parts that were a bit difficult!
Glad you liked it!
It was Joseph Campbell, he wrote: "A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake"
