Nice! crosspost in the editions thread?

Waywords and Meansigns is an upcoming audio version of James Joyce's famous text, Finnegans Wake, to be read in its entirety. The book will be divided into 17 sections, and there will be a different music/reader/performance group assigned to each section. Featuring established as well as up-and-coming artists, Waywords and Meansigns will offer a version of Joyce's work that is stimulating, accessible, and enjoyable to even the most casual of readers and listeners.

That sounds Ragna-Wrawkus!!

Now if only the Revised Wake folks would get their hypertext up there.

He's an actor who specializes in chapter-long recitations of 'Finnegans Wake'. His blog is also worth a look:

Interesting lecture on the Wake from McKenna (an ethnobotanist?) Helpful close read of the first segment - names drops Proust, Faulkner, Pynchon, Gaddis, Nabokov, and Friends.

I haven't had the opportunity to explore this at length but I am recommending this based on the strength of the first featured clip which is a stunning rendition of the final passage of Finnegans Wake. There seems be to quite a lot of content here worth exploring.

Pretty useful outline in 3-4 page chunks, I'm trying to find a way to work this into our parts of the wake page.
