5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the Best,
By Austin M. Kramer "Rouge Scholar" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Reader's Guide to Finnegans Wake (Paperback)
Guides to "Finnegans Wake" seem to be a dime a dozen now a days, but rarely are they so insightfull and easy to use. Although perhaps it is not as good as Bishop's or Campbell's Guides, but it is shorter and easier to read, so it is good for the beginer. It also acomplishes this condensation without significantly marginalizing any of the great themes of Joyce criticism. Thus, perhaps this deserves four stars for the material covered, but it still does so in such an easy way that I give it five for readability.

Good starting place,
This review is from: A Reader's Guide to Finnegans Wake (Paperback)
Tindell is one of the foremost Joyce critics and this in-depth analysis of FW is well worth the money. In the text the author discusses the historical, literary, and philosophical framework of FW while maintaining an less-than-monotonous tone. Any and all of Tindell's Joyce studies are recommended.

Great for the initiate,

This review is from: A Reader's Guide to Finnegans Wake (Paperback)
This book meant a lot to me years ago when I first began reading "Finnegans Wake." I felt paralyzed before each new chapter of "FW" if I didn't read Tindall first. Now I just plough on through Joyce, and I haven't read Tindall in years, but it's still close to me heart. (Allen's review is on the money.) Also, check out Tindall's "A Reader's Guide to James Joyce."
