THE REVIEW
To maintain mental sanity, there's nothing better than a daunting day, a steaming cup of tea, a crackling fireplace, an armchair, and a copy of Finnegans Wake.
Let's indulge our sight and peaceful mind with this highly regarded cornerstone of world literature's magnum opus and a mind-blowing definitive surpasser of the 19th-century novel.
If the avant-garde is avant-garde, Finnegans Wake is its squared square.
