The English Graduates at Oxford (EGO) are delighted to announce an informal, spontaneous, and social Finnegans Wake reading group that will meet once a term to read Joyce’s final book, encouraging students of all strands, disciplines, and stages in their study to engage with the text together. Our first meeting will be a Christmas special! No prior knowledge of the text is required, as we will be working through small, fractal sections of the text together. The aim is to reflect together on a short section (circulated previously) of the text, and in keeping with the passage, there will be chrissormiss (Christmas) cake, mulled wine, other treats, and refreshments! If you have copies of Finnegans Wake, please do bring them with you. However, there will also be photocopies of the passage disseminated during the evening. The reading group will value impromptu ideas.
All welcome (undergraduates included), but please register your intention to attend with Elisa Moy (elisa.moy@chch.ox.ac.uk). THE EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED. If you find that you are no longer able to attend, please let us know (by emailing elisa.moy@chch.ox.ac.uk) so that we can offer your spot to someone on the waiting list.
