Folio society finnegans wake5/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() For anyone who has tried and failed to finish Finnegans Wake or for anyone too intimated to try, this new edition will have you hearing and seeing Joyce’s language more clearly than ever before.Īfter publishing Ulysses in 1922, Joyce labored for 17 years on Finnegans Wake, which was known simply as Work in Progress for much of that time.
