The last reading stopped at: “Neederthorpe” (541.25)

Here is an excerpt from one of Fritz Senn's essays about Zurich allusions in Finnegans Wake relating to the passage we have just read:

“An einer anderen Stelle: 'I made praharfeast upon acorpolous and fastbroke down in Neederthorpe', scheint jemand im Zürcher Niederdorf zusammengebrochen zu sein; Zürich wird dabei kosmopolitisch mit Prag und Athen verbunden. Die Festlichkeiten, die sich zugleich überall und an ganz spezifischen Orten abspielen, sind hier offenbar mit Eßtabus durchsetzt.”

From: Senn, Fritz. “James Joyce und Zürich”. Nicht nur Nichts gegen Joyce (Zürich: Haffmanns, 1999), 74.
