Joyce's earlier works were all part of his grand con-artist plan, so that he could eventually dump Finnegans upon the world and people would have to say it was great. He must have laughed like a maniac.

Nothing captures the feeling of being in a dream more than this book. I have no idea what is going on, it is gibberish, but it feels like it has meaning, and I can hear it my head. inevitably this nightmarish panic creeps in.

I find the whole thing unnerving, like the experience being conveyed is some type of living madness.

Hey, my dude - how do you go with poetry? If you just understand Finnegans Wake as a long prose poem, it becomes less frustrating.

this can be countenanced by the empirical account of him giggling as he struck off random passages of the wake to make it less intelligible.
