... until September. Would folks like to meet on Fridays anyway, for a
drink, and to look at some recent and oldie-but-goodie scholarship and
commentary on FW? Perhaps even as soon as next week.

All best,

Zachary

Next week sounds good! If for nothing else than to see friends!

Until when?  Would a later start time work for you?

Sean -- I'm also fine with a later start.

I'll probably be stuck at the store until 6, 6:30 if it's really busy, so the latest I could be at the restaurant would be 8. But don't worry, I'll have a whole summer of Fridays frees!

Is it butso bonkers of me to think we might have fun talking about
foundational essays and critiques of FW during our loosey-goosey
summer sessions?

For example, we could look at the three historic and, yes,
foundational, FW texts in "Foundational Essays in James Joyce Studies"
(2011): "From Finnegans Wake: A Sentence in Progress", by David
Hayman; "Notes on the Text of Finnegans Wake", by Clive Hart; and
"Finnegans Wake, Page 185: An Explication", Robert Boyle.

Proposed: the Boston Finneganers Summer Study Group?

Yes!  Will PDFs be circulated?

Oh yes, then. Perhaps for each session, one of us could volunteer to
speak briefly on the salient points. Though not for tomorrow;
tomorrow's let's just half some bears.

This sounds wonderful.  Wish I was there.  But the County Cavan is actually sunny at the moment (!) so not too much.

Have fun,

S

Congrats to Finneganers on completing another year of FW study.

It's great - not "butso bonkers" - to undertake group study of Wake criticism. Our group often has review sessions when we complete a chapter. However, we've never had a meeting to consider concepts, as you're attempting.

Cheers,
Joel
