JOYCE, J: Finnegans Wake (70th Anniversary Edition) (Abridged)
|
|
|
|
Finnegans Wake is a comedy, although trying to unravel its mysteries
is no joke at all! Even the most devoted fans of A Portrait of the Artist
as a Young Man and Ulysses have difficulty in coming to terms with
the labyrinthine riddle of Joyce’s last great novel. At root, though,
the book is simple, charming and deeply moving.
Publican Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker, his ever-loving wife Anna Livia Plurabelle, their daughter Isobel and twin sons Shem and Shaun
represent all humanity. The novel is a dream (their dream?) and also a
gloss on Irish and world history. The complexities of Joyce’s multilingual
puns begin to fall away in this fresh and amusing reading, making the
book accessible to many would-be readers for the first time.
