StrangeLove Finnegans Wake Deck 8.5
- Artwork by Dave Carnie
- Manufactured at PS Stix (Heat Transfer)
-
Dimensions: 8.5 x 32.125
- Specs: Nose: 7.125Ā / Tail: 6.75Ā /Ā WB:Ā 14.25
- Bonus: Because Dave is the smartest of us all, we insisted he make a zine to accompany his board as an explanation for the "Mime ..." graphic inspired by James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. And make one he did. Twenty pages. Chock full o' the words, both real and imaginary, that would make any Irish literary drunk proud.
- Extra Bonus:Ā A bookmark. Yes, that's right, this deck comes with a damn bookmark, because how stupidĀ would weĀ have to be to dedicate a board series to a few of our favorite authors and not include a complimentary bookmark designed by Dave Carnie, a writerĀ who has indisputably generated more words-per-square-inch in the history of skateboarding than any other individual? No book isĀ included, of course, but if you need a few suggestions to buy or check out from your local library while you still have one in this Land of the Free: Ulysses, by James Joyce (or, if you're feeling exceptionally brave and bold, Finnegans Wake); Molloy, by Samuel Beckett; andĀ Summer's End, by Danielle Steel.
- Product Description: I admire Dave. A lot. So when I first cameĀ to know him and his writings I wanted him to admire me as well. That was asking a lot, I know, because years later when we were at a bar together he basically told me that I was someone he normally wouldn't likeā¦ yet didā¦ and he found thatĀ confusing. Does he remember saying that now? Probably not. I can't remember over half of what I guess I wrote 25 years ago, let alone crap I threw into a blog post from a few months ago. Anyway, my point is, I really wanted to read James Joyce toĀ impress him. Stupid, I know, but not as stupid as I felt when I realized I couldn't read Joyce. I tried, yes, got a few challenging chapters into Ulysses and realized I was drowning in words way over my head and conveniently "forgot" to keep reading any further. And now, from what I've gleaned about Finnegans Wake through Dave's accompanying "I Read Books" zine, is that if I'd tried to tackle that one first I probably would've curled up in a fetal ballĀ with the dimwitted resignation that I could only muster up enough intellect to readĀ tripe off the "New York Times Bestseller" vine afterĀ reading the introductory sentence alone. That said, this is hands down the best and most intellectually well thought out board in our li'l literary line if not the history of skateboard graphics in whole. Bravo, Dave. Too bad you crafted it in a horizontal format, which precludedĀ it from our initial marketing campaign for the series.Ā āCliver
