A skeleton key to Finnegans wake
"The chief contribution of the present volume is its thin line-tracing of the skeletal structure of Finnegans Wake. Here for the first time the complex and amazing narrative of Joyce's dream-saga is laid bare. Avoiding temptations to amplify, and indicating briefly only the most important themes, we have sought to follow page by page the progress of Joyce's story. Our purpose has not been to elaborate any passage or group of images, but merely to indicate the fundamental narrative itself."--from the Foreword.
