"You're always looking for what you can learn from everybody. I've learned something from every writer I've ever read. The strongest influences are certainly Joyce, the blind man who saw, and Ezra Pound, the crazy man who understood." - Robert Anton Wilson, Beyond Chaos and Beyond 

Straight Outta Dublin explores James Joyce's influence on Robert Anton Wilson, examining mosbunall of Wilson's work including his novel Masks of the Illuminati and his seminal work of non-fiction Prometheus Rising. During the last 23 years of Wilson's life he referred readers back to Prometheus Rising over and over again, and Wagner explores how Joyce's influence permeates that text. The final section of Straight Outta Dublin focusses on the exercises in Prometheus Rising which Wilson repeatedly implored his readers to do. Along the way Wagner looks at the influence of Joyce's Finnegans Wake, Ulysses, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Dubliners on Wilson's art and life. Eric Wagner started reading Wilson in 1982 and earned his master's degree in English examining Joyce's influence on Wilson.

R. Michael Johnson's brilliant analysis in the book's "More Notes" section, offers yet more detail on Wilson's long journey with Joyce. Johnson and Wagner's texts work synergetically to illuminate the Wilson/Joyce Multiverse (WJM, patent pending).
