🎙️ Welcome to Revise and Resubmit!
🌟 It’s our “Weekend Classics” episode — where words don’t just whisper ancient truths, they dance, twirl, and reimagine the limits of storytelling.

Today, we tumble into a dream — half Dublin, half eternity — waking and laughing beside a river that never really ends. Our companion on this winding journey? None other than James Joyce, the Irish maverick who turned sentences into symphonies and everyday chatter into cosmic echo chambers.

📖 Finnegans Wake — first unveiled to the world on May 4, 1939 by Faber and Faber — isn’t just a book. It’s an experiment in human thought, a wild linguistic carnival where time, myth, and memory blur into one. Within its shifting pages, an innkeeper sleeps, the cosmos stirs, and the whole history of mankind snoozes beside the Liffey.

From the mischievous twins Shem and Shaun to the flowing spirit of Anna Livia herself, Joyce crafts a world where every sound means something — and maybe everything. His prose pushes us to lose ourselves, only to emerge awake — changed, if not entirely sure how.

💫 James Joyce, born in Dublin in 1882, lived much of his life in self-exile but never left Ireland behind. With every sentence, he rewrote the rules of modern storytelling — bold, defiant, unapologetically original. From Dubliners to Ulysses, and finally Finnegans Wake, he proved that the novel could be not just read… but heard, felt, and decoded.

🤔 But tell me… if words have dreams, what do they wake into?
