Finnegans Wake
“It has taken digital audiobooks to make it not only conquerable but hugely enjoyable in its entirety.”

“Riverrun past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs….”
So starts Finnegans Wake, the greatest challenge in twentieth-century literature. Who is Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker? And what did he get up to in Phoenix Park? And what did Anna Livia Plurabelle have to say about it?
In the rich nighttime and the language of dreams, here are history, anecdote, myth, folk tale, and, above all, a wondrous sense of humor, colored by a clear sense of humanity.
In this exceptional reading by the Irish actor Barry McGovern, with Marcella Riordan, the world of the Wake is more accessible than ever before.
