For my last re-reading, in 2022, I bought my first audiobook: Barry McGovern's reading of the complete Wake. Even with frequent pausing for (personal) re-reads of the text, it worked splendidly to keep me moving forward instead of deep-diving into the bottomless turf never to surface again.
Horgan's performance was uploaded to IA after my 2022 stagger-through. A first sample strikes me as a remarkable effort, but his BBC-announcer accent doesn't woo me from McGovern's brogue. I'm sure it would serve the basic purpose, though!
The scrawny scruffy scrubjay referenced in the above link turned out to be female, and has raised several litters of ill-behaved jaylets since it was written. When we're out in the yard, she still sloppily flutters down, still scruffy, still scrawny, to sit or forage near us and occasionally sing her whisper song.
