ABOUT CANDLE AND JAMES JOYCE
James Joyce and I have long been connected, beginning with my birth three weeks after his death, on his birthday, February 2, 1940. My name, Candle, comes from this day, the Feast Of Candlemas.
I don't claim to be an avatar of James Joyce, but I am deeply connected. So much, people gave me the nickname JJ. (We work from the same part of The Field.)
Like Joyce, I studied with the Jesuits, at Canisius College. This is where I first encountered Finnegans Wake. I dove into it and have remained immersed for over 50 years!
I have been reading Finnegans Wake aloud for decades, now reaching a world audience via the audiobook. Many people have been deeply moved, in a mind-shifing way, by the experience
I decided to record the whole book and share it with the world, because I feel it needs to be heard, not just read.
