Didnt see the ad, no. Must be quite something. I know the beginning/end well. Ulysses ends with the word "yes" and FW ends with the word "the".

It's a hard book to decipher. Even the first word has so many meanings, as does the title. I often wonder if it was declarative or imperative.

Decent enough commentary:

My copy of FW has a very long foreword by Anthony Burgess. I must see if I can find it . From memory he spends several pages explaining the first couple of paragraphs!

Seen this? Is v good.

Jimmy Carr describes me as "obsessed" with Finnegans Wake. I tried to get him into it, but he's forgotten his Irish roots :)

The ad for the book is wonderful:

Buy a book in brown paper From Faber and Faber To see Anna Liffey trip, tumble and caper. Sevensinns in her singthings, Plurabelle on her prose, Seashell ebb music wayriver she goes
