"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 20th-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.

having been a reader for many many years, many and varied books. from classics to legal thrillers. after some pretty heavy changes in my life, including losing the person closest to me and also a reader( we talked about and read books continuously) , I came to a point that I just didn not pick up many books, but listened to audiobooks only(wanting to hear a voice. recently a very interesting and compelling YouTuber caught my attention about the beauty and richness of literature I have been missing. anyway, he made the argument to listen to this recording as, with the idea it's basically like music. and listening to this reading will help more naturally understand . well, though, it goes by so quickly( I'm mean so many I'm used words in a river of meanings) I find myself picking quite a bit, though I know it's so packed, will need to repeat repair repeat. but . some passages just caught me by surprise and I had to cackle.
not finished. but happy.
