JAMES JOYCE – Finnegans Wake
As he was finishing Finnegans Wake, Joyce proclaimed, „I have discovered I can do anything with language I want.“ Indeed, with his last book, which took him seventeen years to write, Joyce takes literary modernism to new territories by harvesting from as many as eighty different languages to create a wordscape that is both precise and impressionistic, a work that is intellectual, avant-garde, but also sad, funny, earthy and brimming with humanity.
Ziemlich joycelig.
