Finnegans Wake

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

James Joyce's final, dazzlingly experimental masterpiece, with a new introduction by Brian Fox

'A great comic vision, one of the few books of the world that can make us laugh aloud on nearly every page' - Anthony Burgess

James Joyce's final work, Finnegans Wake, conjures up the dark underground worlds of sexuality and dream with supreme linguistic virtuosity. Here Joyce undermines traditional storytelling and the English language, and confronts the different kinds of betrayal - cultural, political and sexual - that he saw at the heart of Irish history. Dazzlingly inventive, with passages of great lyrical beauty and humour, Finnegans Wake remains one of the most remarkable works of the twentieth century.

'Here words are not the polite contortions of twentieth-century printer's ink. They are alive. They elbow their way on to the page, and glow and blaze and fade and disappear' Samuel Beckett

With a new introduction by Brian Fox.
