By (author) Joyce, James; Introduction and notes by Slote Sam
As he was finishing Finnegans Wake, Joyce proclaimed, “I have discovered I can do anything with language I want.†Indeed, with his last book, which took him seventeen years to write, Joyce takes literary modernism to new territories by harvesting from as many as eighty different languages to create a wordscape that is both precise and impressionistic, a work that is intellectual, avant-garde, but also sad, funny, earthy and brimming with humanity. This edition includes an introduction by Dr Sam Slote of Trinity College Dublin.
