”Finnegans Wake (1922-1939) by James Joyce (1882-1941) elaborates the fragmentation and reunification of identity during sleep. The masculine (as Joyce characterized it) mind of the day has been overtaken by the feminine night side. The result is a book that reaches deep into the unconscious soul, beyond language and so before language, but forced to use language to tell it. The characters live in the transformation and flux of a dream, embodying the sleeper’s mind.” --Eric Rosenbloom, author of A Word in Your Ear: How & Why to Read James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ”Finnegans Wake is about anybody, anywhere, anytime or, as Joyce puts it (598.I), about ‘Every those personal place objects . . . where soevers.” --Willian York Tindall, author A Reader’s Guide to Finnegans Wake ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ”Its mechanics resemble those of a dream, a dream which has freed the author from the necessities of common logic and has enabled him to compress all periods of history, all phrases of individual and racial development, into a circular design, of which every part is beginning, middle, and end.” --Joseph Campbell and Henry Morton Robinson, author of A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake
