Books and substances: LSD and Finnegans Wake in conversation – with Agnese Codignola and Edoardo Camurri

What could possibly be the connection between Finnegans Wake and lysergic acid dyethilamide (better known as LSD)? This combination is only apparently extravagant, as Joyce was indeed a major reference author for the psychedelic subculture of the 1960s; as Marshall McLuhan once said, “LSD is the lazy man’s Finnegans Wake”. Chemist Agnese Codignola and journalist Edoardo Camurri bring the hallucinogenic substance and the great Irish author together in a lysergic conversation about creative processes, altered states of consciousness and vibrant interconnections in writing.

In Italian.
