James Joyce Reading Finnegans Wake (w/Subtitles)

This is an animation i made of James Joyce’s bust in Stephens Green, Dublin. The same audio is on youtube already but it doesn’t have subtitles so i figured it would make more sense to have a version with the words included since you’re missing half the story if you listen to the audio just by itself. The talking head part... the plan was to only add the subtitles at first but then i just got carried away, as you do. The audio (recorded in 1929) is of James Joyce reading the Anna Livia Plurabelle section of Finnegans Wake. It’s a chattering dialogue between two washer women who as night falls become a tree and a stone. (pages 213-216, or the last few pages of part 1)
