There is an interesting review of The Wake on the PSmiths literary substack:

That has moved it out of a wish list and into my cart for my next purchase.

Makes me wonder what J.R.R. Tolkien would have thought of this.

If you go far enough down the Psmiths' online rabbit hole, you'll find (via footnote 7) some speculation on that. Tolkien was apparently of the opinion that the Norman Conquest was a Very Bad Thing for English historical language and culture, hence his frequent references and allusions to Anglo-Saxon mythology. It sounds like he would have been a fan of The Wake as described here.
