{"product_id":"finnegans-wake-paperback","title":"Finnegans Wake - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e is the book of Here Comes Everybody and Anna Livia Plurabelle and their family - their book, but in a curious way the book of us all as well as all our books. 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.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50101609005279,"sku":"9781840226614","price":10.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/cXBpeG10bXF6WHljeXRBb0Z2SGlZUT09.webp?v=1781071818","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/finnegans-wake-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
