Joyce's last great work, it is not comprised of many borrowed styles, like \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e, but, rather, formulated as one dense, tongue-twisting soundscape. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This 'language' is based on English vocabulary and syntax but, at the same time, self-consciously designed to function as a pun machine with an astonishing capacity for resisting singularity of meaning. Announcing a 'revolution of the word', this astonishing book amounts to a powerfully resonant cultural critique - a unique kind of miscommunication which, far from stabilizing the world in meaning, constructs a universe radically unfixed by a wild diversity of possibilities and potentials. It also remains the most hilarious, 'obscene', book of innuendos ever to be imagined.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 656\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 7.7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 07, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42164495745159,"sku":"9781840226614","price":10.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/a9e6df94c81307c9e4c440bbb54cd9c7.webp?v=1733306213","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/finnegans-wake-paperback-2","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
