Some of the greatest most creative minds weren’t above a dirty joke or two.
#JamesJoyce was another admirer of standard-bog humor.

"The snow was falling upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead."
- James Joyce, "The Dead"

Photos of Anselm Keifer's exhibition 'Finnegen's Wake' (White Cube 2023). Tough, gorgeously physical work, & especially enjoyable for the small works & (for me) wonderful chaos of the hang - plus clear evidence of a sense of humour (snice). I love (most) of his big paintings but they are queasy - in part / too much - gross excess (spectacle). These smaller works were very engaging.
+ such a great text.

the municipal plaque marking the former home of Marshall McLuhan on Wells Hill, along with the copy of James Joyce's Ulysses that - in an exemplary instance of Bretonian "objective chance" - I found in an adjacent little free library 🏡 📖 ✨
At tonight's meeting of the Finnegans Wake Reading Group in Basel, we came across one of the many triplets based on the initials of the novel's main character, Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker: "hallucination, cauchman, ectoplasm" (133.24). Last year, I made two tie-dye T-shirts with expressions from the Wake on them
found an amusing line in Finnegans Wake:
feastking of shellies by googling Lovvey
so I did
but was given no feastking of shellies, ... someone at Evil Empire HQ is missing an opportunity ,, give me my feastking of shellies by googling Lovvey! how hard can it be?
Philip K Dick identified a few other anachronisms in Finnegans Wake which proves that James Joyce had access to a time machine, my pet theory is that he traveled he traveled with the 12th Doctor
