About this listen
"Riverrun past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs...."
So starts Finnegans Wake, the greatest challenge in 20th-century literature. Who is Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker? And what did he get up to in Phoenix Park? And what did Anna Livia Plurabelle have to say about it? In the rich nighttime and the language of dreams, here are history, anecdote, myth, folk tale and, above all, a wondrous sense of humor, colored by a clear sense of humanity. In this exceptional reading by the Irish actor Barry McGovern, with Marcella Riordan, the world of the Wake is more accessible than ever before.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent performance, by the readers, a must listen!
To any true fan of Joyce, Finnigan is a classic and a must re-read for one’s entire life …. I literally prayed for an audiobook, and finally it came, and I must say, I’m absolutely satisfied with it and quite entertained.
Cheers to the crew that put it together. Well done.

Absolutely terrible, do not recommend
I liked Ulysses by the same author, so I expected this to be similar, but having listened to more than 300 titles on Audible this is only the 2nd I could not finish - it was terrible. Gave it a fair chance by torturing myself through the first two chapters and then skimmed through to listed to snippets hoping to find a change, but it seems to be the same lyrical ramblings all the way through. Worst or second worst audiobook I've listened to. The performance is well above average, but the story simply cannot be redeemed. Keep in mind this opinion is subjective - if you like lyrical ramblings, maybe this is for you... but it's not for me.
