Kindle Launch of Here Comes Everybody’s Karma

Here Comes Everybody’s Karma is a translation of Finnegans Wake from Joycean Gibberish into Vulgar English.

It took me some time, but I’ve finally put in the effort to convert the print version into a Kindle book. Hereby I invite everyone who has been putting Joyce’s masterpiece aside as an unreadable Moloch, to have a look at this version that you can download for free during the five days launch period (from January 19th till 23th) of this version by following this link.

Joyce claimed that by writing Finnegans Wake he was attempting to “reconstruct the nocturnal life”, and that the book was his “experiment in interpreting ‘the dark night of the soul’.” Alas, for most lovers of English literature, he (subconsciously?) created a reader’s ultimate nightmare.
The impression exists that only accomplished philologists have ever managed to decipher the novel’s polysemantic vocabulary that was borrowed from approximately sixty-five languages and dialects.
The primary transcription goal of Finnegans Wake into Here Comes Everybody’s Karma was to open Joyce’s Opus Magnum for a wider reading public by replacing the foreign language idiosyncrasies with an English equivalent and by streamlining Joyce’s sibylline prose.
This required me to engage with the prose of Finnegans Wake that goes beyond that of simply transcribing the text in readable English.
While the foreign language idiosyncrasies in Finnegans Wake are often open constructs that gave place to multiple interpretations, transcribing this novel into plain English required choices to be made which translation would fit best with my interpretation of Finnegans Wake.
I chose to interpret the novel from a personal cryptomathematical perspective by placing the novel into a contemporary context that reflects the links that can be laid between Finnegans Wake and some Asiatic philosophical tenets, quantum mechanics, and the system theory.

I had to leave out the decorative page frames due to some formatting issues, but could keep them around the illustrations. You can download the Kindle version for free from January 19 till 23th on this link. After that it costs 9.99 USD. Book reviews of the print version can be found on Goodreads and reviewers are invited to leave their impression of the book under the same link or on Amazon (or both, if it’s not too much asked for).
