====================================================<br>
</div>
<div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"><br>
Since 2014 Neal Kosaly-Meyer has been performing the chapters of
James Joyce's final novel, <i>Finnegans Wake</i>, from memory
and with close attention to the music Joyce himself claimed to
be the most important characteristic of his book. In 2023, he
presented Part II, Chapter 1 at Passages Bookshop, and we are
thrilled that he is returning now for Chapter 2.<br>
</div>
<div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"><br>
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>
