Making Finnegans Wake Accessible: The Project of Finnegans Web
- Free to visit
Thursday, 15 January 2026
About this event
A text like Finnegans Wake can understandably be met with a degree of intimidation from an unfamiliar audience. But what if it were possible to make the experience of browsing through the text easy and enjoyable?
The Finnegans Web project in Japan was launched on Bloomsday 2025 with the aim of making Finnegans Wake accessible to all.
Join us on Thursday, 15 January 2026 at 6:30pm, when Finnegans Web co-founder Kenji Hayakawa will present an overview of the project as well as the inner workings of its two main pillars, the Notes and the New Translation. This talk will offer practical insights into ways of encouraging and supporting a wider readership to pick up and enjoy a book like Finnegans Wake.
Doors open at 6pm. This event is free.
