And here’s where things get unsettling — brace yourself, dear reader — because buried in this monstrous word of filth and depravity is the name of our current president. Could there be a more fitting literary omen? Joyce tried to warn us! Dig into the word and see the naughty wonders for yourself...

Wait.... While writing this post, I also learned that Lasky was the colorist for "El Deafo"??? As a former fourth-grade teacher, I found this book pivotal for emerging outcasts and book nerds. I read it to my to multiple years of classes. Well done, sir.

And don’t let anyone tell you Ulysses is set on June 16, 1904, just because Joyce fell in love with Nora that day. I mean, maybe — but what really made it memorable to him was the alleyway handjob.

Joyce wasn’t just dicking around with funny sounding words — he was building something that mirrors how the world works.

Most novels follow a Weibull distribution for punctuation — pauses appear at predictable intervals, like speech patterns.

Finnegans Wake breaks this mold. Its punctuation follows a more natural flow, a lot like how your breathing patterns shift throughout the day and night.
