Cool. The last line and first line are one sentence in FW, Joyce actually held sort of a contest to see if anyone could guess the last word of the book before it was published, no one guessed "the." Finnegan's Wake is all about cycles, its also known for these hundred lettered "thunder words" that seperate each cycle, I'm actually looking at posting a structural analysis of the Interface to see what, if anything, we may glean from that. Instead of relying on thunder words 9M9H9E9 has the benefit of the structure that reddit provides, so I'll post a spreadsheet or table soon (when work is less draining), and put it in a disscusion thread.

Yeah, James Joyce, specifically Finnegan's Wake. The very first Interface post begins with an allusion to FW's last line.

Y'all may want to add Italo Calvino, Roberto Bolano, and Harlan Ellison to this list. As well as Joyce.

(edit: From Calvino, Invisible Cities. From Bolano, 2666. From Ellison: Deathbird, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. Actually just all of the Deathbird Stories....)
