"The fourteen appendices by both critics will further enthral Joyce scholars as they un-pick the master's verbal gymnastics, allusions, references and puns ... This is an exciting feast of Joyceana." Books Ireland Summer 2001 "it is unusually easy for the scholar to use because of its extensive index, line by line, th the scattered annotations ... this book joins the small group of commentaries indispensable to the committed scholar." CHOICE Feb 2002 "an important resource for anyone interested in Finnegan's Wake, and the observations collected here will remain for a good number of years an important stimulus for continued examination of Joyce's masterpiece." Irish Literary Supplement Spring 2002
