Description
Finnegans Wake is a novel that reinvents the genre with its unique blend of language and storytelling. Set in a Dublin suburb, the book follows the intimate drama of an innkeeper and his family as they navigate the complexities of life, history, and identity.
The novel's structure and musicality are designed to evoke the natural world - time, the river, and the mountains - and it is both an epic tale and a wildly inventive comedy. With its organic form and rich layers of meaning, Finnegans Wake rewards close reading and reflection.
This newly set edition, with its faithful page layout, provides a reliable introduction to Joyce's masterpiece. A guide for readers, Finn Fordham offers insights into the novel's complexity and suggests ways to approach its many meanings.
