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. \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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wordsworth Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781840226614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 1.40d","brand":"James Joyce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38400691994805,"sku":"9781840226614","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a63f34ab-779a-48d5-8551-f8ee9c7d0ad0.jpg?v=1612165432","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/finnegans-wake-9781840226614","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
