About this event

Join The James Joyce Centre for a presentation of Finnegans Wake by Des Gunning and Carol Wade, who will discuss FW85 and future commemorations of the Wake.

Join Carol Wade of Art of the Wake and Des Gunning of Joyceborough for a lookback at 'FW85,' the 85th anniversary of the publication of Finnegans Wake and a headsup on plans to mark 'Mamalujo 101' in 2025. Des Gunning has been running the Joyceborough Finnegans Wake Reading Group for fifteen years and Carol Wade has been illustrating the Wake for as long. This year, they and others combined forces for the first time to mark the occasion of FW85.

In Finnegans Wakeshop, they will reflect in that experience and look ahead to the coming 15 years, which will bring us to FW100. A copiously-illustrated with live performance of the text and plenty of audience participation. A short film, 'On the Calends of Mars,' will be screened.
