Overview

Finnegans Wake is Joyce’s final book, written over a 17-year period. Often regarded as the most difficult English work of fiction, the book has a stream-of-consciousness style that takes the form of a dream narrative. The first line of the book is a fragment, which is a continuation of the last line of the book. Thus, the book is a never-ending cycle in itself.

About James Joyce

James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark novel which perfected his stream of consciousness technique and combined nearly every literary device available in a modern re-telling of The Odyssey.
