Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

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

This 'language' is based on English vocabulary and syntax but, at the sametime, self-consciously designed to function as a pun machine with anastonishing capacity for resisting singularity of meaning. Announcing a'revolution of the word', this astonishing book amounts to a powerfullyresonant cultural critique - a unique kind of miscommunication which, far fromstabilizing the world in meaning, constructs a universe radically unfixed by awild diversity of possibilities and potentials. It also remains the mosthilarious, 'obscene', book of innuendos ever to be imagined.
