| | Finnegans Wake |
 | | Just goes to show that sipping martinis with Saul Bellow is not a form of enlightenment. | | | It looks like one of Blake's sillier lines, itself an image of untruth; unless, of course, Blake actually meant that everything possible to be doubted is an image of truth--that every doubtful thought contains a truth. | | | As Jesus tells us in Luke 16:17, 'It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for one little stroke to drop out of the Law.' |

| | The Joyce of Science - The Theory of Relativity in Finnegans Wake |
| | Through the apple image, the modern fall of classical physics is linked in Finnegans Wake with the biblical fall and sometimes the two motifs are interrelated: Thus, for example, we hear: "For then it was the age. | | | The fall of classical physics and the emergence of relativity in itself illustrated one of Joyce's main themes in the Wake : that of the fall and resurrection, or the constant renewal of the world. | | | The line AL in the diagram used in the geometry lesson (293) may appear straight, but it is described as a "strayedline"(294.02-03), curved, like everything else in Joyce's book. |

| | Reading Finnegans Wake |
| | Frankly, though, their exposure to Finnegans Wake has not been a truly representative one: Joyce's text is generally not this accessible. | | | Nonetheless, the issues raised by this work, and the undeniable centrality of its author's impact upon twentieth century fiction, make Finnegans Wake a work that should not be consigned to the attic of bibliographies and graduate studies, hushed up or ignored like an embarrassingly eccentric relation. | | | They were like those Lilliputian characters in the Wake who scrutinize the fallen hero Gulliver/Finn, "all there scraping along to sneeze out a likelihood that will solve and salve life's robulous rebus, hopping round his middle like kippers on a griddle" (12.32-35). |

| | With a wonderfully dizzying array of multilingual puns and arcane allusions, Joyce proclaimed it was "a history of the world." Because of the innovative and unusual fragmentary nature of the novel, many of Joyce's supporters abandoned him with the belief that he was wasting his talents. | | | In 1923 Joyce began "Finnegans Wake," perhaps the most baffling of his works. | | | Listen to an MP3 audio excerpt from "Finnegans Wake," read by James Joyce, available on the collection "James Joyce Reads" (HarperAudio). |

| | Joyce, like his father, was both an excellent singer (with a sweet tenor voice) and an accomplished pianist with an encyclopedic mastery of music of every type and genre, rivaling his vast knowledge of world literature. | | | Beside helping our understanding of Joyce, studying his use of music is a wonderfully entertaining way to make the works more immediate and accessible. | | | As a writer, he nevertheless incorporated music into all his works in increasingly complex ways, especially in Chamber Music, Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake. |
