For this week's perzacto episode, we are joined by world-changing director and all-round delight Aili Huber, as we consider the first half of the least user-friendly quiz in literary history. We have our first ever tap-out (it's easy to get lost on the page if your eye wanders), consider Dr Seuss, the gish gallop, and e.e. cummings, before we bring it all home by considering how Finnegans Wake might fit within the parameters of Aili and Toby's 2021 book Cutting Plays for Performance. In short: don't know; none; infinity.
This week's readers: Aili Huber, Toby Malone, TJ Young
Progress: 148 pages complete, 480 pages to go; 23.57% read.
