''Finnegans Wake'' [[Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma|[sic]]] is a 1939 novel written by [[James Joyce]]. It took him 17 years to write, and may take nearly as long to read, as it is completely written in an idiosyncratic, made-up language that vaguely resembles English spoken with a thick Irish brogue.
Critics and scholars disagree about a lot about this book, but most agree that it portrays a man's dream, and that it's full of complex, layered allusions and jokes. Arguments still rage as to whether it has a plot.
