Question

This novel contains a three-page list of names for Anna Livia Plurabelle’s “untitled mamafesta.” For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this novel, whose actual title notably omits an apostrophe to suggest a plurality of the title hero. This novel follows the family of Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker.
ANSWER: Finnegans Wake
[10h] A critic with this surname wrote a James Joyce biography that claimed Joyce omitted the apostrophe because it meant “the death of Finnegan and the resurgence of all Finnegans.” His daughter with this surname wrote the stream-of-consciousness novel Ducks, Newburyport.
ANSWER: Ellmann [accept Richard Ellmann or Lucy Ellmann]
[10e] Another example of Joyce’s unusual punctuation choices is the use of this punctuation instead of quotation marks to notate speech. The unusual use of these punctuation marks characterize Emily Dickinson’s poetry.
ANSWER: dashes [accept em-dashes; reject “hyphens” or “en-dashes”]
