Verbal play among the Hanunóo of Mindoro is surprisingly similar to that practiced by the Dubliners of Ireland. The similarity invites a comparison of the work habits of their scribes: the ethnographer Harold Conklin and the novelist James Joyce. A Joycean version of an ethnography of the Wannaknow is presented as a textual focus for the comparison.
