Publisher Description

Finnegans Wake is a novel by Irish author James Joyce, significant as one of the most difficult works of fiction in the English language. The entire book is written in a largely idiosyncratic language, consisting of a mixture of standard English lexical items and neologistic multilingual puns and portmanteau words, which many critics believe attempts to recreate the experience of sleep and dreams. Owing to the work's expansive linguistic experiments, stream of consciousness writing style, literary allusions, free dream associations, and its abandonment of the conventions of plot and character construction, Finnegans Wake remains largely unread.


Written in Paris over a period of seventeen years, and published in 1939, two years before the author's death, Finnegans Wake was Joyce's final work.

A triumph

This novel reinvigorated my love of language and what it means to read. I found myself lost with the prose, mystified by the magic of style and understanding myself more than I will ever understand what JJ accomplished in this masterpiece. If you are looking for something rare, walk down to Finnegans Wake.
