Finnegans Wakeshop: The Nominigentilisation of Humphry Chimpden Earwicker

Come join us at The James Joyce Centre for Finnegans Wakeshop, the concluding event of The Bloomsday Festival, on Thursday, June 19th at 1pm.

This year’s Wakeshop is entitled “The Nominigentilisation of Humphry Chimpden Earwicker,” featuring Carol Wade, Des Gunning, and the music of Roger Doyle’s Suite of Affections. Carol and Des will take you through James Joyce’s last novel Finnegans Wake with extraordinary insight and penetrating detail through readings, music and art.

Des Gunning is a Joyce scholar and former curator of The James Joyce Centre. He has been running the Joyceborough Finnegans Wake Reading Group for sixteen years. Artist Carol Wade has been illustrating Finnegans Wake in Art of the Wake for many years.

The event is free and open to the public. No booking required.
