    I read this years ago and can't remember much about it, other than it was the first I'd ever heard of Finnegan's Wake.

    A quick, blazing head-banger of an introduction to various aspects of RAW's thought, comprised of quick & discrete essays written pseudonymously, expanding on some of the themes from the Cosmic Trigger series and his other works like Prometheus Rising and Coincidance. I especially recommend "Ten Good Reasons to Get Out of Bed in the Morning" and "Coex! Coex! Coex!" (which further reinforces my belief that RAW was just as good a reader of James Joyce as many of the more canonical experts on Joyce, such as Harry Levin, Harry Blamires and the Joyce biographer Richard Ellman). Also great were the RAW interviews by 'Conspiracy Digest'. Robert Anton Wilson joked about playing tricks on his readers (He learned this either from Joyce or Aleister Crowley) I have no way of being sure whether 'Conspiracy Digest' even interviewed RAW, or even whether any of the short pieces in this volume were printed elsewhere, or even how much of what is presented as fact IS actual fact. Which is not really the point. Nevertheless, an indispensable volume in the RAW oeuvre. As Phillip K Dick said upon reading Wilson, "I was astonished and delighted".
    All Hail Discordia.
