Abstract
Verbal play among the Hanunoo of Mindoro is surprisingly similar to th at practiced by the Dubliners of Ireland. The similarity invites a com parison of the work habits of their scribes: the ethnographer Harold C onklin and the novelist James Joyce. A Joycean version of an ethnograp hy of the Wannaknow is presented as a textual focus for the comparison .
