  • "explanation"

    brilliant project. alas, I could teall do without the metaphysical romaticisms at each episode's beginning - an artwork is not about the whatever you associate with it, not how it makes you feel. A beer is a much easier way to acchieve this. Icing on cake's the narrator's "humoristic" ductus, massive mistake.

Listeners Say

Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.

Some critics note the opening metaphysical framing can feel heavy, diverting from the core reading.
The host's theatrical approach is praised for energy and clarity, though a few listeners long for tighter editing between readings and commentary.
Listeners appreciate the bold blend of performance and scholarly context, and the production updates add real project momentum.
The multi-location filming and live audience aspect is seen as a standout, offering a fresh way to experience a challenging text.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.020: Special: Interview with Kenji Hayakawa on translating the Wake into Japanese
Q: How do you make this work available to Japanese readers who are largely unfamiliar with Irish culture?
I preserve Irish references and proper names as faithfully as possible in my translation, using non-standard Japanese to capture the unique inflections of Joyce's language.
Ep.020: Special: Interview with Kenji Hayakawa on translating the Wake into Japanese
Q: Why did you start with Chapter 2 and not in the obvious place, which would be to begin translating Finnegans Wake into Japanese in Chapter 1?
I felt that Chapter 1 misleads readers into thinking that this chapter is paradigmatic of how the rest of the book is written. Starting with Chapter 2 allows for a more accurate understanding of the rest of the book's narrative structure.
