<div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s">Since
2014 Neal Kosaly-Meyer has been performing the chapters of
James Joyce's final novel, Finnegans Wake, from memory and
with close attention to the music Joyce himself claimed to
be the most important characteristic of his book.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s">The
chapters of Part II are especially noted as being the most
difficult and obscure things Joyce ever wrote, with
Chapter 2 by common consensus the most formidable. The
chapter is presented as a textbook, complete with
footnotes, and also right and left hand marginal notes.
There is substantial agreement (with important
confirmation from the author himself), that the footnotes
and marginal notes should be understood as the voices of
the three children of the pub-keeper HCE, locked in their
room with their textbook to do their homework. </div>
<div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"><br>
In performance the rather forbidding page transforms to a
comic quartet acted out between the staid overserious
schoolbook on one hand, and the constantly mocking and
interrupting students on the other.</div>
