Confused? Why Yes Thank You.

(Sorry for all the blogs at once. No internet at home and I am trying to catch up!)

So over the weekend I decided to read Wilder's play before I began Finnegan's Wake. IT sounded like a good idea, and I did finish it, but I am rather confused.

I get the obvious connection with the myth of the eternal return, because the play ends where it began with Sabina. But all the stuff in the middle just left me dizzy! Dinosaurs and mammoths, approaching ice, people living underground, beauty queens in red stockings, all the biblical and Greek allusions, OY!

I thought this would help with Joyce, but perhaps Joyce will help with Wilder. This blog is short because let's just say I am unsure of what to write about. Maybe in the end Joyce will clear up Wilder. Who knows! I just know I will have to reread it after diving into Joyce. Enjoy all!

I must say though that I was excited to see that Elia Kazan directed the first performance! He directed two of the best movies ever, A Streetcar Named Desire and Baby Doll, both by Williams. If you haven't you should, it's Marlon Brando at his most gorgeous!

But anyway let's just say I am confused and hoping to understand it all in the end, after much discussion and rereading!
