Bonus: Zoe Patterson and Joyce Reading Groups

  • Summary

  • After months of pondering the motivations of those who choose to take up the mantle of the Wake, and particularly those who get together with like-minded individuals to drink and read and discuss, we finally decided to get to the bottom of the phenomenon. Zoe Patterson is a PhD Candidate at Trinity College Dublin, whose doctoral studies centre on James Joyce reading groups. We talk about the varying usefulness of reading guides (which of course we here at WAKE pretend don't exist), people who jump on the "Joyce Train" halfway through the journey, how reading groups can resemble both Bible Study and Addiction meetings, and end on the earth-shattering revelation that this very podcast has now become academically relevant.

    This week's chatters: Zoe Patterson, Toby Malone, TJ Young
