About Me

After I had read Ulysses with my friend (American) at Abiko-shi (Japan), we began to publish the Abiko Quarterly with James Joyce Finnegans Wake studies (in 1989), because FW must be more interesting and difficult than U. Then I began to challenge to　read FW. I asked almost 30 joyceans　on how/why to read FW. You can see the results in the　following blog at (http://hcehamada.blogspot.com/). Now I am translating FW to Japanese as a practice to read it. The Japanese translation is in the new book "Finnegans Wake; Part 1 and 4”(published from the Abiko Literary Press, 2009). Now I translate the remaining parts 2 and 3. It is a fun to know what FW is. The reading of FW may not be different between foreigners and native speakers, because for any person it is necessary to consult with 5 or 6 dictionaries or reference books always.　I could only read half a page daily. A part of FW translation is shown in the blog of this page.I was a research worker at Japanese Government Institute and a university professor on ruminant and trace element nutrition (BS at Hokkaido U in 1957, MS at Kyoto U in 1959 and Dr at Tohoku U in 1977), but after retirement I have regarded myself as a reader of FW. I wish to publish the translation of Parts 2 and 3 of FW until 2012:12:21(a supposed doomsday in old　prognosticators’ books). HP about my Japanese translation of FW is shown at (http://members3.jcom.home.ne.jp/2119844801/).
