Finnegans Wake

As he was finishing Finnegans Wake, Joyce proclaimed, "I have discovered I can do anything with language I want." Indeed, with his last book, which took him seventeen years to write, Joyce takes literary modernism to new territories by writing through as many as eighty different languages to create a wordscape that is both precise and impressionistic, a work that is intellectual, avant-garde, but also sad and funny and earthy and brimming with humanity. This edition includes a critical introduction by Dr Sam Slote of Trinity College Dublin.
