Finnegans Wake
With an introduction by Dr Sam Slote of Trinity College Dublin
By James Joyce
Introduction and notes by Sam Slote (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.)
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 harvesting from 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, funny, earthy and brimming with humanity.
This edition includes an introduction by Dr Sam Slote of Trinity College Dublin.
