It's good to find a new book on "Finnegans Wake," the first I've seen in this century. Most of the books written about Joyce's last "novel" were written a generation or more ago. This compact text is comprehensive and adds thoughts and ideas I've not found in some of the older, more voluminous works. It's also readable, not requiring an advanced degree in literary criticism. There's no way to make "Finnegans Wake" an easy read, but "A Word in Your Ear" offers practical advice that advances our understanding of Joyce's "book of the dark."
