  • Summary

  • We would never consider ourselves mooks, nor would we gripe about the task in front of us, but finishing 1.6's Quiz (along with the needlessly complicated tale of the Mookse and Gripes) made us wonder whether Joyce might learn a little from Sad Girl Lit. We get a call from the other side of the planet and welcome Toby's hugely accomplished arts administrator sister, Georgia Malone, to talk about the book that "everyone owns and no one reads", the use of Joyce as a medal of honour among moody young blokes, and lay out our credentials for the knowledge of useless facts. Georgia gives us a refreshing take on how best to enjoy WAKE (come for the preamble, skip the Joyce bit), calls Joyce a wanker, and considers the place of Australian accents, Aesop, and Magic Eye pictures in understanding the work.

    This week's readers: Georgia Malone, Toby Malone, TJ Young
