Book synopsis

Almost every piece of criticism concerning Finnegans§Wake describes it as a difficult or unreadable work.§Therefore, considering the above statement as§starting point, throughout the book I analyzed the§role of the reader and revealed the reading§difficulties caused by the unconventional novel. I§shed light on how the book relates to conventions and§the changes generated, as a result, in the attitude§of the reader. §Finnegans Wake changes our entire concept of§language, thus a central theme of the book is Joyce s§special usage of language developed to the level of§mastery. Readers often doubt even the mere existence§of any meaningful language within the novel. However,§it is worth noting that instead of imposing any kind§of limitation, it broadens the borders. One should§rely on the comfort and enjoy the humor provided by§the novel rather than fear it.
