'Finnegan's Wake'

I’ve done what most haven’t. It took me forever to find a copy of Finnegan’s Wake and I learned that’s probably due to the fact that it’s simply one of the hardest pieces of fiction every written.

I’m not saying I “got it.” No one “gets it.” You read it and then find CliffsNotes to basically translate it.


I will say, some of the syntactical contortions James Joyce undertakes is really, really remarkable.
