"Finnegans Wake" in Fifteen Minutes

"Finnegans Wake" in Fifteen Minutes

James Joyce remarked that the only demand he made of his readers is that they spend the rest of their lives studying his books. The fact is that many scholars and a few literary lay people have done just that for over a half century. This is especially true for Joyce's last and most difficult book, "Finnegans Wake". Critics have consistently called the "Wake" unreadable for its complexities that ripple outward in circles of complexity upon complexity and allusions that allude to more elusive allusions yet. Nearly four generations of scholars have solved many of the "Wake's" mysteries but many still abound. Yet much of this virtually unread masterpiece of literature is comprehensible and contains many rewards, for there is lots of fun at "Finnegans Wake". This Kindle Single lays out the "langscape" of the "Wake", the basics of its what, when, where, who, why and, most importantly, the how of its creative composition, giving readers an understanding of "Finnegans Wake" that will place them in the top 99.99% of the world's readers.
