Eckley, Grace - "Waking the Wake in Farmer's "Wage"" Eckley opens his article with: "..Philip José Farmer's novella "Riders of the Purple Wage" profoundly echoes James Joyce's topics and techniques, chiefly in his glittering uses of the pun, from a spattering of languages and nationalities, and in his numerous allusions, plus plot and character and humor. The highly-allusive qualities of the work include allusions and finally references to Finnegans Wake. Particularly delightful for Wake scholars is the parody of themselves, that is, of their Wake criticism as a kind of fetish. Moreover, the story is sufficiently funny, naughty, and bawdy to please James Joyce himself..". Farmerage Vol.1 No.2, October 1978 [Fanzine, edited by George H. Scheetz.]
