Lois Beckett writes: “For a quarter century, Gerry Fialka, an experimental filmmaker from Venice, California, has hosted a book club devoted to a single text: James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, one of the most famously difficult texts in literary history. Starting in 1995, between 10 and 30 people would show up to monthly meetings at a local library. At first, they read two pages a month, eventually slowing to just one page per discussion. At that pace, the group—which now meets on Zoom—reached the final page in October.” Keeping with the book’s cyclical nature, the group continued reading from page three in November.
