Nicolas Fargnoli, author of Critical Companion to James Joyce "Epstein is one of the foremost Joyce scholars, in fact, a pioneer. His guide is comprehensive and obviously the result of a lifetime of interaction with Joyce's book."--Fritz Senn, director, Zürich James Joyce Foundation "A book that every Joycean will want to own."--Sebastian Knowles, series editor Written in a complex, pun-based idiogloss and boasting a dreamlike narrative that defies conventions of plot and continuity, James Joyce's Finnegans Wake has been challenging readers since its first publication in 1939. The novel is so famously difficult that it is widely agreed that only the brave or foolhardy attempt to unravel this well-known but relatively little-read classic. Most tackle the text in reading groups, which provide mutual assistance (and moral support) in understanding Joyce's modern masterpiece. Now, with the publication of Edmund Epstein's A Guide through Finnegans Wake, no one has to go it alone. Recognized as one of the world's foremost Joyce scholars, Epstein has been reading and thinking about Joyce for over fifty years, and his considerable experience and enthusiasm is preserved here for the benefit of anyone with an interest in reading the Wake . This accessible guide approaches the daunting work in a way that provides handrails for beginners while, at the same time, presenting new insights for experienced readers. Review: Great way to wade through the Wake - This is up there with Gordon and "Third Census"; therefore, get it. Awake, arise, or be forever fallen. Review: Best guide to Finnegans Wake I've read - This is a terrific guide to Finnegans Wake that brilliantly threads the needle between providing a page by page analysis and an overview of what is happening and what it means. I can't imagine reading Finnegans Wake without one or another guide, and this and Campbell's Skeleton Key are the very best. Highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,026,323 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #127 in Modernism Literary Criticism (Books) #1,093 in British & Irish Literary Criticism (Books) #9,546 in British & Irish Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 20 Reviews | ## Images ![A Guide through Finnegans Wake (The Florida James Joyce Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+zTfbDJSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great way to wade through the Wake *by L***S on January 17, 2026* This is up there with Gordon and "Third Census"; therefore, get it.
