That's the very meaning of Marshall McLuhan's teachings: "the podcast is the mass age" March 1967 lessons about James Joyce.

"The miseries of conflict between the Eastern and Roman churches, for example, are a merely obvious instance of the type of opposition between the oral and the visual cultures, having nothing to do with the Faith." - Marshall McLuhan

James Joyce understood this hate preaching better than any human in all world history. The love of the intimate touch screen device, hardware love, the Apple iPod Podcast venue. Joyce saw in Ireland what everyone in 2026 does not want to face: Exact same printed book on paper, The Bible in year 1895 had two different organized networks of venues: Catholic Church book venue, Protestant Church book venue. And extreme hate over anyone who calls out how shallow and superficial Bible fandom is regarding who is reading the common book on paper. Joyce was the most brilliant man in all history about world peace! Finnegans Wake is light-years beyond 孙子兵法. People murder and bomb each other in Ireland over book club fandom, The Bible. People put into media-venue loyalty and trance to murder their fellow man over the absolutely extreme superficial banal reading of a book.

“As his title indicates, he saw that the wake of human progress can disappear again into the night of sacral or auditory man. The Finn cycle of tribal institutions can return in the electric age, but if again, then let’s make it a wake or awake or both. Joyce could see no advantage in our remaining locked up in each cultural cycle as in a trance or dream.” - from the book “The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects” by media analyst Marshall McLuhan and graphic designer Quentin Fiore, and coordinated by Jerome Agel. It was published in March 1967

Happy Bloomsday! Love to all. "That's not life for men and women, insult and hatred. And everybody knows that it's the very opposite of that that is really life."

Bloomsday 2026: June 11 to June 16 James Joyce days

A one-man pandemic book club

The past six months have given me exponentially more time at home than I would have thought possible before this pandemic-afflicted year. Normal people would have occupied those hours by catching up on deferred household maintenance or learning a new language, but instead I’ve whiled away many of them by reading two of the denser novels written in English: James Joyce’s Ulysses and David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest.

That was not a quick process. Both doorstop-thick tomes feature their authors free-styling their way through prose as they get lost in the inner worlds of a complex set of characters without any strict reference to time or place, which is a longwinded way of saying they can be intimidating to read.

I tackled Ulysses first, since I’ve had a vintage hardcover copy silently taunting me from a bookshelf for the past 20 years or so. There are deeply poetic moments in Joyce’s Dublin-steeped novel–“history is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake” resonates too well this year–and parts that suggest the author’s profound conviction that he would get paid by the word for every word. Also, I’m impressed that the censors of the 1920s made it all the way through to the really naughty bits towards the end.

After I tweeted out my victory over Joyce’s title and asked “What famously dense novel should I read next?”, one of the first replies suggested Infinite Jest. I finally accepted that logic and put myself on the Arlington library’s waiting list for an e-book copy, but before I could claim that I saw a paperback copy available for all of $2 at a library used-book sale. Buying in print instead of borrowing in pixels meant I’d have all the time I’d need to digest Wallace’s 1,079 words of prose, endnotes, and footnotes to said endnotes.

(Seriously: Wallace’s endnotes eat up almost 100 pages, and a couple count as chapter-length in their own right. I realized early on I’d need to keep two bookmarks in my copy, one to mark my progress in the text itself and the other to preserve my place in the bits at the end–then saw that this book may be best read with three bookmarks. This may be the most hypertext thing I’ve ever read in print.)

Infinite Jest is even more of an atom-smasher of plotlines than Ulysses–it touches on growing up, tennis, drugs, Boston, digital media, addiction, people’s capacity for needless cruelty, crime, more drugs, pop culture, cinematography, Québeçois separatism, and even a smidgen of tech and media policy. And it does so without the standard narrative scaffolding of chapters. I kept having to flip forward to see when the next break in the story might happen, solely to know how late I’d have to stay up before putting the book down at a point that would not leave me too confused the next morning.

I could not help reading Wallace’s tales of Boston types battling depression and inner demons of various kinds without considering how Wallace himself succumbed to his own, because depression lies. Which made me think also of my late, literary-minded friend Mike Musgrove, who I’m sure read this book a long time ago and would have offered some smart or at least smart-aleck commentary about it.

“Her lips touched his brain as they touched his lips, as though they were a vehicle of some vague speech and between them he felt an unknown and timid preasure, darker than the swoon of sin, softer than sound or odor.” #JamesJoyce

Book Club Dogma. Bible book fandom year 1902 Dublin: Oh, we love the Bible book so much! Oh we hate living humans who comment about The Bible outside our media book club dogma. Always avoiding.. Book Bible verse Matthew 25:40: "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these book club participants brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me". Instead, the Dublin Bible book clubhouses (book venue clubs) teach to hate the out-groups. That is what James Joyce has masterfully built lessons about. Book clubs of the Bible who hate non-believers of narrow interpretations of the book club story.
