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.
