******************************************************

I don't know. Doomed? I've always thought the book itself was not meant to
be understood in conventional semantic terms anyways. Why not translate
it? Joyce taught at Berlitz and the Wake is full of multilingual,
polysemic phonetic transcriptions which can go either way (or any way)
much of the time. Applaud the effort, I say. Just sticking with the
original is hard enough.

All the best,

Sean

I think the spelling of the topic should be changed from Finnegan's Wake
to Finnegans Wake (although I don't know how this difference can be
rendered in Chinese).
