The Water Genie Speaks

So this paragraph is going to be repetitive, redundant, wordy and verbose. It could even get annoying, obnoxious, irritating, exasperating and aggravating at times. But isn’t that how he speaks, why use one word when twenty would do? Writing like this difficult, challenging, arduous, knotty and cryptic at times. It could drive any one crazy, loony, insane, bonkers, cuckoo. But that is what happened when I dove into the waters of Finnegans Wake. Joyce is perhaps a water genie himself, they way he strings lines together and writes in a fluid motion, even focusing on the fluidity of water at times. Perhaps the Water Genie in Haroun and the Sea of Stories is not so crazy after all, perhaps he is a savant, a genius, a gifted student in the realm of the English language. We mere mortals will never know unless we dive in, jump into, plunge into the depths and immerse ourselves in the language of the Water Genie and James Joyce.
