Query re Joyce's alleged "madness" (was: W.Miale re Waugh)]
From
Date
Body
Walter Miale wrote about a "comically persistent confusion about my...ambiguous question." He had not doubted CHW's words, but E. Waugh's accessment of Finnegans Wake as being "the work of a madman". Mary let us know that according to Stannard "Elizabeth Jane Howard was given the task of ...dealing with Waugh's 'senile vanity' ". Lacan wrote about James Joyce in his seminars about "Le Synthomme". Many of his followers discoursed on a kind of madness that only eclodes in the next generation, as it seems to have occurred in JJ's case.
If we proceed to our VN-Link, does all this help us to deduce that Kinbote's "Pale Fire" was the work of a madman, too? Do PF readers belong to Kinbote's "next generation"?
