	Finnegans Wake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Finnegans Wake, published in 1939, is James Joyce's final novel.
		Finnegans Wake is mentioned several times in James Blish's science fiction novel A Case of Conscience, where it plays a significant role in the solution to the novels' eponymous "case of conscience".
		The influence of Finnegans Wake can also be seen in Philip José Farmer's science fiction novella Riders of the Purple Wage, which is written in a Joycean style and includes a central character named Finnegan, as well as referring explicitly to Joyce's novel.

	The Joyce of Science - Quantum Physics in Finnegans Wake (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The purpose of Finnegans Wake was to recreate the workings of the unconscious or dreaming mind in which multiplicity of meaning and constant shifting of images preclude the use of formal logic and traditional linguistic constructions.
		Finnegans Wake in its flux is also a "wold made fresh": (336.17) the world of the book and every word in it are in the state of original becoming out of the familiar sources rather than a fixed being.
		This indefinite character of causality in the subatomic realm is reflected in Finnegans Wake in numerous allusions to uncertainty accompanying causal relationship.

	The Cable in Finnegans Wake
		Eugene Jolas, writing about Finnegans Wake ten years before its publication, notes that, "The real metaphysical problem today is the word."[3] That is, in a culture where meaning is shaped more by cameras, radios, telephones, and telegraphs than it is by novels and newspapers, the importance of words is diminished.
		One of the recurring motifs in Finnegans Wake is the search for origin, be it the origin of a crime, the origin of a nation, the origin of a human being, or the origin of the novel itself.
		Finnegans Wake's continual search for answers to questions beyond the comprehension of the various figures implies a search for a form of communication that eschews a materiality that only add to the "middenpile" of memories.

	Waggish: The Books on the (Finnegans) Wake
		I was asked today about contemporary reaction to Finnegans Wake when it was published, and I had to say that I didn't think that there was much of one.
		Finnegans Wake is a model of a mysterious universe made mysterious by Joyce for the purpose of striking with polished irony at the hot vanity of divine and human wishes...Joyce himself told Arthur Power: what is clear and concise can't deal with reality, for to be real is to be surrounded by mystery.
		McHugh is one of the most intense Wake scholars, and in The Finnegans Wake Experience he describes moving to Ireland to better understand the book.

		The language in "Finnegans Wake" is a continuum of puns, portmanteaus, disfigured words, anagrams, and rare scraps of straightforward prose.
		Finnegans is a great mountain beyond our vision, beyond the clouds, too wide and too tall to see, but one we do well to climb attentively, to broaden our own perceptions, our horizons, our fitness, our minds, our souls.
		Finnegans Wake sort of makes you think in that you have to try to figure out what this word is, or what language this might be, or what Joyce was smoking when he wrote this schlock.

	A novel approach - The Boston Globe
		The title is a reference to a popular comic song of Joyce's day about a hard-drinking hod carrier named Tim Finnegan who falls from a ladder, cracks his skull, and is presumed dead until, at his riotous wake, whiskey gets splashed on the corpse, which miraculously revives.
		Uniquely structured, ''Finnegans Wake" begins with the last half of a sentence and ends with the first half of the same sentence.
		The Finnegans Wake Society of New York, founded before World War II, has links on its website to reading groups in Belgium, Switzerland, and Ireland but only to nine others in the United States outside of New York and Boston, most affiliated with colleges or universities.

	Joyce - Works: Finnegans Wake
		Finnegans Wake is located near the primal stratum of the collective unconscious, where “countlessness of livestories have netherfallen by this plage, flick as flowflakes, litters from aloft, like a waast wizzard all of whirlworlds.”
		Finnegans Wake is similar to a mathematical fractal: each iteration exposes a deeper universe of meaning, and yet all is somehow self-contained and self-generating.
		Finnegans Wake may not be the most widely-read book ever written, but it has many enthusiastic supporters, including Samuel Beckett, Joseph Campbell, John Cage, Robert Anton Wilson, and Murray Gell-Mann, the scientist who developed the quark theory of matter.

	Finnegan's Wake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Finnegan's Wake" is a ballad which arose in perhaps the 1850s in the vaudeville tradition of comical Irish songs.
		It is famous for being the basis of James Joyce's masterwork, Finnegans Wake, where the comic resurrection becomes symbolic of a universal cycle of life.
		Whiskey, which brought both Finnegan's fall and his resurrection, is derived from Irish uisce beatha (IPA: [ˈiʃkʲə ˈbʲahə]), meaning "water of life." So too, the word "wake" is both of a passing and of a new rising.

		In the Wake, we remain inside the dream throughout, which means that we stay entirely inside the dream's logic without any recourse to an outside frame of reference.
		Vico's theory lies behind the structure of Finnegans Wake in terms of both its narrative, to the extent that there is one, and its chapter divisions.
		One of the ways in which the "characters" appear in the Wake is purely linguistic: their initials appear in phrases throughout the book.

	The Joyce of Science - The Theory of Relativity in Finnegans Wake (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		While publication of Finnegans Wake, crowning the work of seventeen years, was eclipsed by the outbreak of the Second World War, Joyce also had to cope with the mental breakdown of his daughter Lucia.
		Such, for the most part, is the way the relativity theory occurs in Finnegans Wake: Joyce apparently was not concerned with the development and meaning of the theory itself but rather with incorporating into his work those elements which he found useful because they reinforced his own ideas and themes.
		The Wake extends Lewis's objection to Ulysses as a chaotic depository of lifeless objects, by referring to itself as "a jetsam litterage of convolvuli of times lost or strayed, of lands derelict and of tongues lagging too" (292.15-17).

		The reader of Finnegans Wake (and specifically that rarest of creatures, the person who actually finishes the book) probably feels like he/she has been through such an ordeal (and a very boring, frustrating ordeal it is) that they have to praise the book, or risk looking a bit silly.

		It seems that now we are approaching the end of the disc, Finnegans Wake is shedding its shyness and comes alive.
		Finnegans Wake makes music that might as well find a home on the Cuneiform label: lots of wind and chamber orchestra styled music with elements of After Crying, Univers Zero and Karda Estra.
		Still, compared to the reference points I tend to like Finnegans Wake a bit less, which is mainly due to the fact that the classical elements are a bit too dominant, which gives an overall tameness to the music.

	Cult Choice : Finnegans Wake by James Joyce - Hamish Hamilton
		With Finnegans Wake I'm going to be quite open with you: I've only reached page 495 (out of 628).
		Joyce based the form of the book on the mythlike philosophy of Giambattista Vico, who said that all history followed a rise and fall through a cycle of four periods, the end of the last of which is the beginning of the first.
		Finnegans Wake is a dreambook, a counterpart to the daybook that was Ulysses.

		Bishop also analyzes two key mythologies that influenced the Wake, the Egyptian Book of the Dead and Vico's New Science, but his interpretations are highly heterodox and not especially structural.
		Consequently, Bishop has the effect of making Finnegans Wake seem even weirder than the other books make it out to be.
		I wrote on this book last year, and while it is not exclusively concerned with the Wake, it invokes Finnegans Wake as a central example for Bourbon's non-propositional view of fiction.

		For me, the most dismaying example of this form of familiarity and contempt is the reading of Finnegans Wake by James Joyce, today's birthday boy (and a writer for whom I have demonstrated considerable regard).
		For adventurous readers, Finnegans Wake is generally the next stage after Ulysses, and so high is my estimation for Joyce that I have now read the book through two-and-a-half times, though I have never enjoyed it and have gotten nothing of value out of it.
		With Finnegans Wake the author is untethered to any form, and the result is very much like the disappointment I noted at the beginning of this article.

		Roland McHugh is an admirable Joyce scholar and most certainly knows more about the Wake than I, but I must say this book is not at all what I was looking for in an annotated guide.
		This is because the author presents the annotations as if they were personal notes in his own copy of the Wake, rather than full explications as found in Ulysses Annotated.
		Any beginner who is not familiar with some of the primary themes of the Wake will be sorely disappointed.

		Nonetheless, the issues raised by this work, and the undeniable centrality of its author's impact upon twentieth century fiction, make Finnegans Wake a work that should not be consigned to the attic of bibliographies and graduate studies, hushed up or ignored like an embarrassingly eccentric relation.
		The trouble was that their instructor was doing everything for them, acting indeed like one of those tour guides who points out something clever in a painting before his audience has a chance to discover it.
