James Joyce's use of ten one hundred-letter words in Finnegans Wake has always been an intriguing feature of that novel. Eric McLuhan takes a new by placing the Wake in the tradition of Menippean satire, where language is used to shock and provoke. Seen in this light, Joyce's peculiar language and style become part of this Menippean tradition through his use of the linguistic 'thunderclap'.

The Role of Thunder in Finnegans Wake is the first book to examine this strangest and most prominent aspect of the language of the Wake, and explain its use in the context of classical Greek literature. Each thunderclap is a resonating logos that represents a transformation of human culture. McLuhan presents the thunders as encoding Joyce's study of ten major communications revolutions, ranging from neolithic technologies such as speech and fire, through cities, the railroad, and print, to radio, movies, and television. Seen in this fashion, Finnegans Wake is both an encyclopedia of the effects of technology in reshaping human culture and society, and a complete training course for detecting the changes in sensibility occasioned by new media.

Illumination of Joyce’s Wake and McLuhan

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2019

I first read Eric McLuhan’s book on the “Thunders” a few years after it was initially published; I returned to it again upon reading his Cynic Satire and The Sensus Communis, Synesthesia, and the Soul: An Odyssey more recently as they seem to be companion pieces. It was originally Erics’s doctoral thesis and we see the influence of father and son’s study of Joyce in such works as “War and Peace in the Global Village” and From Cliche to Archetype (see my related reviews).

After a Preface, there is in Part I, a chapter on Cynic Satire as a literary genre, and one on “Finnegan’s Wake as Cynic Satire: An Ancient Attack on Modern Culture.” In Part II: “What the Thunders Said,” there are ten chapters that deal with each of the Thunders---the 10 one hundred letter run on phrases (one with an extra syllable for 1001) that occur within Joyce’s “play” about a wake, awakening and so on----that according to McLuhan symbolize the major human technological developments from speech to the television. The book ends with a Conclusion, Afterword as well as helpful Appendices----“On the Composition of the Thunders,” an “Outline of the Menippean Tradition,” “The Rhetorical Structure of Finnegan’s Wake”---Notes, Bibliography and Index.

The text provides an understanding of Joyce’s oblique novel via McLuhan’s interpretation. Moreover, it elucidates the traditions out of which Marshall and increasingly as time went on Eric’s work on media studies proceeded. It offers invaluable background on the Cannons of Rhetoric, the Levels of Grammatical Exegesis, and the progression of Minnepean Satire utilized to illuminate Joyce and in so doing to illuminate Marshall McLuhan’s writings as well (see also my review of Theories of Communication ).

Among my favorite selections are Part I and the Appendices as they convey the major concepts and tools involved in McLuhan’s analysis. For instance, the charts in Appendix 3, pg. 266 show the correspondence of grammatical and rhetorical forms with different parts of the “Wake.”

In my opinion, this book is a must for scholars of Joyce and modern literature as well as those concerned with McLuhan and media studies.

The thunderwords contain the book in microcosm

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2019

A fractal view of Finnegans Wake: the whole is encoded in the parts.
McLuhan examines the ten Thunderwords microscopically, shows they
contain the entire book in ultra-condensed form.

BTW, I use the thunderwords as password generators: grab a sequence like
perkodhusk or foulmoeklenburg or bababadalghara, throw in some Caps and numbers
to satisfy the rules and off you go!

Thunder, Perfect Mind

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2008

Like the Gnostic text Thunder, Perfect Mind, the Wake is a song of oblique wisdom. Eric's father and Terrence McKenna are my two favorite analysts of Joyce. Eric is not as funny as these two but I love this book. Much ado about long funny words. If you don't LOVE the Wake, skip this, but if you do, Eric has many gnarly thoughtlets for you to play with.

Finnegans Wake's Thunderwords analysed

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 1999

This book make FW a bit less obscure. First he narrows his focus to the ten 100-letter Thunderwords in FW and shows that, like DNA in a chromosome, each Thunder contains all the themes of its section in microcosm. (find the Joseph Campbell on Finnegans Wake video and hear him read the first thunderword for the full effect) Second, he fits FW in the genre of Minippean satire, so its disorderly mess has a bit of company on the bookshelf. Hey, "Every artist creates his own precursors", Borges wrote. When I went to school, it was Horatian and Juvenalian, nice and nasty, Garison Keillor vs Howard Stern. Well, now there's room for Tristram Shandy and Frank Zappa, too. A good entree to the subject.
trivia: The author's dad was the guy Alvy Singer produced to silence the movieline bore in Annie Hall.

ENLIGHTENMENT - FINNEGANS WAKE to be Read and Read again for 10,000 years

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2015

Nirvanic FINNEGANS WAKE: James Joyce's West/East Revelation Joyce, man of Letters, fluent in Languages, Traveler in circles high and low and places near and far, disciplined in conscientious Mindfulness, Scholar of knowledge, Compassionate husband father and friend, Prophet to Mankind.

Eric McLuhan's reading of FW, The Role of Thunder in Finnegans Wake ..., provides insight into Joyce's granularity of FW.

Aspirationally, James Joyce has thrown all Mankind's manifest gods/deities/idols into FW, reading FW is like circumambulating the Kaaba's 360 idols. Each reader/critic will find their own manifest god and if enlightened, a Bodhisattva's perspective, move on to the Compassionate Omniscient Eternal Unmanifest/Visnu and to their own individual spiritual karmic path.

Joyce's Ulysses' is the story of a young man, its framework is Homer's 'Odyssey'. A tale of a Modern-day Odysseus' personal existential sexual quest, to overcome his psychological internal travails (not Odysseus' external travails) and to affirm humanity: father, mother, son, and daughter. Joyce's FW's is the story of a family, its framework is Giambattista Vico's (road/path) 'La Scienza Nuova's' 4 stages of cyclic history: theocratic to aristocratic to democratic to chaos. Fractured by Indra's thunderbolt (Shiva's trident) ending chaos and restarting the world/day again with theocracy.

FINNEGANS WAKE (FW) and Ulysses (a tantalizing 'Punic admiralty report') are both situated in Dublin, though written on the European continent Joyce memorializes his birth home. FW is 'Ulysses' on a universal scale, Bloom becomes All-Men (HCE) and Dublin becomes the World. Joyce's Ulysses (Bloom) is an energetic man hopping out of bed, plunging into the Dublin day, waging battles real and unreal, exhausted by controversy and rejuvenated by love (Molly). Joyce's HCE is man eternal, a universal man of all wisdom, compassion, understanding, a man of all time. Joyce's FW protagonist is Finnegan, who (re)incarnates to HCE, who will (re)incarnate to Shaun and Shem.

Reading FW is entering the "mind of James Joyce" and his expansive word palette. Joyce labored for two decades assembling his masterpiece tantras/sutras. The mind of Joyce is the "library of mankind" who has reordered dictionaries, encyclopedias, and volumes of knowledge to reveal a West-East allegorical perennial mandala of Mankind's (HCE/Krishna's and ALP/Radha's) compassionate thoughts (manifest and spiritual), a revelation. FW is a spiritual volume to be Read and Read again for 10,000 years.

Readers have for decades mis-attributed dozens and dozens of characters in FW. Mis-reading Joyce's recognition that all personalities always have two-aspects at any moment in time (past/present, evolving/devolving, present/future, observed/Maya & observer/Thaya or Tamas/Creation & Rajas/destruction, truth/falsehood, light/darkness and hopefully an Enlightened recognition of two-worlds, manifest & spiritual), a recognition that "two becomes one" and "one becomes two". Consequently, Joyce has hundreds of "paired names" for the Father, Mother, two Sons and Daughter. A young HCE (Shem-like) Persse goes to sea as the NC (HCE adventuring) but on displacing Kersse ('Son of Ashe's' cursed-aspect) the NC/HCE leaves his bachelored Persse to become a married HCE with two new-aspects (*T & R) His Shaun-aspect and His Shem-aspect, which will be manifested in His sons. While the maid Ana upon consummation of their marriage has two new-aspects ALP and Kate (ALP's drudge-aspect, *M/T), this occurs with almost all of Joyce's FW's characters.

*4) FW ends "book IV" (Vico's chaos) with a half sentence 'A way a lone a lost a last a loved a long the' FW's first word is 'riverrun,...' Ganga's river of unmanifest spiritual-life consciousness, a West-East silk road/waterway transmission.

1) FW's "book I:1" (Vico's theocratic) tells of a) Finnegan's passing, a pedantic fall, an aeon ends, Joyce's God "thunderclap" restarting "book I" from ending "book IV" and b) transition from Finnegan, his fertile historic home, to HCE an invading Ulysses. The first 4 chapters of "book I" introduces readers to the father, patriarch HCE, his syncretic history and "folk" hearsay; the second 4 chapters of "book I" are devoted to the woman, who will catch her man, who becomes matriarch, HCE's wife ALP, her syncretic history and "folk" hearsay. Finnegan (builder) an impermanent brick in a manifest world represents the archaeological past (a passing aeon) held by a forefather, an Indra (Ireland's indras, impermanent ants upon a whale carcass) with his wisdom of the history of all men and times. Finnegan passes his baton, his place in the fabric/river (of manifest consciousness) of loves/attachments and wars/engagements, to his successor HCE/NC (like a fallen Russian General's void is filled by his battlefield promoted daytime successor) now present in manifest time with his particular past. While ALP/Kate emerges from Dublin's local history/museum as the Muse to gather from the past for her future and family. The parents (HCE and ALP) are the new "present anchored by their particular pasts" in FW.

After 4 billion years of biological evolution, Here we are!, well, Where are we?, and, How did we come about? Our individual particular consciousness has been inherited (transmigrations) from the past, a temporal space in an expanding consciousness. And Biological evolution has divided us by sex, which induces Social evolution to procreate offspring to fill our temporal consciousness when we expire, "exhausted consciousness".

2) FW's "book II" (Vico's aristocratic) devotes itself to HCE & ALP's children: Shaun (Tamas/Kulothunga II, extrovert, man of the world, stasis/space - Sartre's Being, loved: she reveals to him her sexual/spiritual unity) carrier of FW's letter (cleric of "church"). Shem (Rajas/Shaiva Siddhanta-bhakti Christian, introvert, artist, change/time - Sartre's Nothingness, loves: he reveals to her his ascetic enlightenments) revealer of the FW letter (prophet, "religious reformer"). And Issy/Iseult muse (nature's direction) gatherer and composer of letters. The children are the evolving "present future" of FW.

Biological and Social evolution engenders parental responsibilities, to successful offspring. Brother's battle: Shaun in accord and Shem in conflict with local Dharma. The children will inherit and evolve their Own individual particular temporal consciousness within their local deity's dharma/community. Atmosphere, fog mist and dew of MaMaLuJo/St. Augustine's dharmapala; MaMaLuJo's donkey (relic, men's vestige/tale) like Bloom's 'shrivelled potato' (Ulysses ch Circes).

3) FW's "book III" (Vico's democratic) devotes itself to "what will be of" HCE and ALP's children. The baton will be passed on (again) from HCE and ALP to: Shaun, Shem and Issy. The children's "influences upon the world" is the "future generation", presently unknowable, of FW.

Instructing parents can guide their children beyond their local deity's manifest dharma (MaMaLuJo/Augustine's dharmapala) to the spiritual Unmanifest: evolving from Siddhartha Gautama Shakyamuni to Buddha to Bodhisattva.

*4) FW ends "book IV" (Vico/vivo's chaos) with ALP's and HCE's lovemaking dissolution dream meditation. Joycean Nirvana is attained by ALP (via Dzogchen Togal): cosmic-awareness, dissolving manifest bodies, a "meditation on union", dissolving observer/selves, becoming "all that is". And HCE (via Dzogchen Trekcho): transcending all defilements and fixations, beyond karma, existence and thoughts, beyond selves, beyond all dualistic polarities. Realizing Non-dual enlightenment, unification Yab-Yum, so that their compassionate "rainbow bodies" are realized with the Unmanifest/unmanifest-spirit. Creation, Incarnate conception and Reincarnation the baton has been passed on again. The 2010/12 "corrected" Rose/O'Hanlon edition reveals Joyce's partitioned 4 vision/stages.

Eternal Tree of sentient life (time/consciousness-compassion) and Immutable Stone (matter-space/law), 'Yet is no body present here which was not there before. Only is order othered. Nought is nulled. Fuitfiat!'. Should we Aspire? Aspire to what? To that which manifested consciousness, Unmanifest/unmanifest-spirit mandala.

"Dreams of Clarity" imparted gifts: HCE dreams of how his family's lives may influence his children's future loves, book II:4. HCE dreams of how his children's (play) future adulthood may unfold as an extension of his life's experiences, books (II:1) & III:1. HCE dreams of how his parenting instructions will influence his children's future of moving past their life's manifest obstacles to their independent & individual Unmanifest/Visnu spiritual lives, book III:2. HCE dreams of how he has prepared his children to defend themselves from their family inheritances (FW), ALP his soulmate is invited (Mannagde-shared) into his dream to defend him, as is his cherished Issy (Mannagde-shared), book III:3; and Shem's (Glugg/Jerry) receptive "Tibetan dream Yoga" (Mannagde-shared, HCE gifted), book II:1 and Shem's channeling intrusion interrupting his parent's sexuality/meditation, HCE rebuffed, book III:4. "Clear Light Dream" Moksha, ALP's and HCE's lovemaking Nirvana, the past dissolving and a new day arising, book IV.

Each day we awaken from our dreams to the Joys and sufferings of our lives, restarting from yesterday, I:1. Our failings (susceptibilities) presenting our daily confrontations I:2; our past shortcomings, augmented daily, having left a memorable trail of our karmic path I:3; which we must defend, our stases and imperfections, with the help of our partner(s) who share with us their perspective and solutions to save us from our daily actions I:4. Our partner'(s) helpful informed 'a priori' (spiritual Quantum) indeterminate/non-Cartesian and 'a posteriori' (manifest Classical physics) understandings of consciousness I:5; our partner'(s) evolving, expanding & refining, understandings (through time) of our daily lives, spiritual aspirations and sexual relations I:6; understandings and enlightenments shared with our family I:7, while observed and judged by the members of our community I:8. Our children will inherit our gifted past of personal loves & wars, attachments & engagements, II:1; our children will intuitively realize the Unmanifest/Visnu and learn of the dualities of manifestation, sexuality and individual's spiritual free will II:2; they will experience the activities of men and women II:3; and their personal experience of sexual love II:4. Children will learn of Compassion "Hinayana self-reflection" enabling personal re-positioning, III:1; and graduate onto acceptance of the participations in the Joys and sufferings of this life "Vajrayana enlightenments" of imperfect possible Compassionate choices, III:2; not only will parent's lives be judged, by themselves and others, but their parenting will be judged, by their children and others, III:3; we will carry into the future, tick-tock, the Joys and sufferings of this Life as have our parents III:4. Enjoying the Paradises that this Life offers us, IV:1.

"HCE day" similar to Bloomsday (roughly 24 hrs): Chronologically FW starts with courtroom memories (travail, book I:3) of HCE arrested in front of his gated refuge (from MaMaLuJo's tale) unable to enter, unlike Bloom HCE does not enter through the back door (Ulysses ch Penelope), instead HCE is arrested in hours before dawn. [newly incorporated dream: HCE's samsara/awakens in jail (book I:1) after his dream remembrances/anamnesis of NC/HCE arrival/attending Finnegan's wake at the 'House of call', to marry Ana/ALP, and assume the tavern keeper's role (consciousness space) made available by Finnegan's passing years ago.] Followed by (book I:4) HCE's psychological musings of past travails/guilts (living death, underworld Hell excursion Ulysses ch Hades) while incarcerated in early hours of morning, visited by ALP in jail before HCE's courtroom trial & defense and release & liberation. HCE walks home (accusation *T/R an evolving Sattva, book I:2) through Phoenix Park accosted for the time of day (12 noon) which threatens (real & unreal choices, Ulysses ch Nausicaa) his innocent vico/"well-being". Joyce rewrites 3 chapters of Ulysses to incorporate Vico's road/revelation of restart & recirculation into FW: When He is denied Her front door, He is in Hell (on earth), when released (from Hell) His odyssey to Her begins again (with His ever-present accompanying internal travails) for She always knows when He is worthy of Her acceptance, their Paradise.

FINNEGANS WAKE is James A.A. Joyce's evolving aspirational "family/bodhisattvas all" who all understand that the intention behind all existence is Compassion, Buddha/Christ's teachings. Our eternal compassionate Spiritual (Unmanifest/Visnu) and interpreted cosmic Dharma (Stone of Law, dispassionate astronomic exergonic) by impermanent evolving conscientious sexual Lovers (Tree of Life, compassionate quantum *M/T & T/R&S endergonic). Our Joys and sufferings (daily anamnesis, reinterpreted cyclic samsara) our Middle-way/Christian vico. Joyce's Christian paradigm (C.S. Lewis' "Christian love" hall) was globalized by his readings of transcendent/spiritual T.S. Eliot's 'The Waste Land's' "Shantih"/Nirvana and Neapolitan Giambattista Vico's understandings of China's silk road (waterways/rivers and roads, arteries transmitting ideas back from Zhang Qian) chronicled by Sima Qian (eunuch/'baile') where East/West trade carried manifest commerce/mammon (to 1st century Christianity) and Tamil-Shiva bhakti Mahayana (to 1st century Hinayana/ascetic India) across Asia. Joyce rediscovered (in the 'midden heap') Shachi's request succedent to 'The Humbling of Indra' (via Brihaspati) of peaceful sexual equilibrium, both psychological virtues of the spiritual and manifest. Subsequently, our manifest multiverse dharmas chosen/created: Dzogchen, C.S. Lewis' "Christian rooms" or other compassionate dogma, e.g.: 1) neither being excessively for/Tamas or against/Rajas a particular team/player in a match but "enjoying/honoring Sattvas the game/play", 2) in the game of GO neither being greedily/fearfully (biological fight/flight) offensive or defensive, in your choice/dualities of moves, but playing the "enlightened Sattva offensive or defensive move", 3) not suffering Alice's angst observed/observer of Hatta/Haigha: Mad Hatter, March Hare and Dormouse but participating vico/vivo in the "timeless Tea party", 4) Prufrock's observed/observer "timeless Tea party" conundrum/vico to Eliot's '[Shantih]...the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus' nirvanic Unmanifest/Visnu, will be your dharmapala. Happy evolving long-life lies along your conscientious mindful karmic path, defending against manifest attacks 'unwishful...of being hurled into eternity' spirituality is assumed until it is threatened "Kerrse" and/or subordinated "accursed Russian General", your "free will" Compassionate (not recidivist) spiritual Joycean 'Mere Christianity' / Buddhist Middle-way vico.
