{{quote|''Despite these obstacles, readers and commentators have reached a broad consensus about the book's central cast of characters and, to a lesser degree, [[No Plot, No Problem|its plot]].''|[[The Other Wiki]] on ''[[Finnegans Wake]]''}}
Finnegans Wake 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.
Line 34:
* [[Neologism]]
* [[No Ending]]: Take a look at the first and last 'sentence'.
* [[No Plot, No Problem]]
* [[Portmanteau]]: Just as an example, the word listed below under [[Written Sound Effect]] is made up from the words for "thunder" in ten different languages.
* [[Reset Button]]: If you notice the {{spoiler|''first'' sentence of the novel and compare it to the ''last,'' you can see that the last one can continue the first sentence, this starting the cycle once again.}}
