Interview with Olwen Fouere

Olwen Fouere performed riverrrun for the first time during Bloomsday week  in Dublin in 2012. Sitting in the third row, spluttering and wheezing from too many late nights propped up by beverages whose names begin with J and G, I nevertheless was thrilled to see Olwen's work brought to life on stage.

I consulted Olwen on her editing of Book IV, the ricorso of Finnegans Wake. We first met at the NSW State Library in Sydney where Olwen read a bit of Molly for a modest Bloomsday crowd the year before. As a doctoral student writing about the Wake, Olwen's request for scholarly elucidation proved irresistible.

Following rounds of tea, talk and mutual enjoyment of all things Joycean, Olwen was happy to be interviewed, and you can hear that discussion by clicking on the interview below.
