James Joyce, adapted
Some books are just out there to haunt your life. Not so different for me when it comes to Finnegan’s Wake. I’ve heard so many stories about it, read so many things about it, but never come to the conclusion to just go out there and buy it. Why not? Because it’s too difficult to read for me. The english is very hard let alone the whole language system used by Joyce is just too complex for me.
But now this has changed, since there is a dutch translation. Or rather, the original text is opposed a dutch interpretation and this means a whole new world. Now I should be able to read and try to understand bits and pieces, puzzling it all together into one big whole. And so I should be able to come closer to interpreting the english text, to reveal the mystery that might lay between the lines.
I’m excited!
