Finnegans Wake

Finnegans Wake Kısa Özet

Finnegans Wake is the book of Here Comes Everybody and Anna Livia Plurabelle and their family-their book, but in a curious way the book of us all as well as all our books. Joyce`s last great work, it is not comprised of many borrowed styles, like Ulysses, but, rather, formulated as one dense, tongue-twisting soundscape.

This `language" is based on English vocabulary and syntax but, at the same time, self-consciously designed to function as a pun machine with an astonishing capacity for resisting sinularity of meaning. Announcing a `revolution of the world`, this astonishing book amounts to a powerfully resonant cultural critique- a unique kind of miscommunication which, far from stabilizing the world in meaning, constructs a universe radically unixed by a wild diversity of possibilities and potentials. It also remains the most hilarious, ` obscene`, book of innuendos ever to be imagined.
