Listening to FW is a superb idea, especially because the text takes onomatopoeia to its limits and contains a plethora of multilingual puns. It's meant to be read aloud. I'm guessing that the stream-of-consciousness style lends itself especially well to audio that you can lose yourself in, which is great for running etc.
- twoodfin 10y agoCan anyone recommend a good unabridged reading of the Wake? By the way, the Irish RTE radio (unabridged!) production of Ulysses is wonderful. https://archive.org/details/Ulysses-Audiobook https://archive.org/details/Ulysses-Audiobook
- reltuk 10y agoWhen I saw this question, I went to find a link so that I could recommend Patrick Healy's reading. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it now available for free on the internet. It's quite rushed and somewhat flat at parts. Some of the abridged recordings I've listened to do more justice to the excerpts they've chosen. But it's a heroic effort none the less. For me, it made the full Wake accessible and alive in a way that made me really enjoy spending time with it.
