Read it aloud, and a cadences and flavor of the work may come across more strongly.

Good thought. I've done the reading aloud for Irvine Welsh and D.H. Lawrence. Helps immensely with passages written in phonetic brogue, at least until you get the hang of how it should sound in your head. Goodness, took me days to figure out that "gel" meant "girl."
