Join One Little Goat at the Toronto European Union Film Festival for a screening of “Finnegans Wake, Chapter 4” — the excerpt, screened for the first time, features actor Richard Harte performing the final minutes of Chapter 4 of James Joyce's divine comedy. (For more on the excerpt, tune in to Episode 22, “By the Rivers of Babalong” of our podcast series.) The excerpt is followed by Blue Road: The Edna O’Brien Story, a portrait of the 1960s author whose scandalous debut novel, The Country Girls, made her an outcast—and icon—in her native Ireland.
Richard Harte in “Finnegans Wake, Chapter 4,” filmed live at Type Books in Toronto.
