Hardcover. Condition: Fine In Fine Box. Fascimile. Fascimile. Hardcover. "Finnegans Wake is a novel by James Joyce, written in 1939. It is considered one of the most complex books in English literature, as well as being unique in its experimental writing style. The purpose of the work is to visually display this complexity. Using a classic 1965 edition by Faber and Faber, the book was disbound, woven and rebound, respecting the original order of the pages and preserving the same cover. The new edition consists of 4 volumes covering the four parts and 450 pages of the original edition." [Artist Statement] Concept and weaving by Ximena P?rez Grobet. Unbinding and rebinding by Poncho Mart?nez. Assistant, Teresa del Junco. The unique copy was placed in 2020 at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library at the University of Toronto. Before it was sent off, Ximena had the work carefully documented, leaf by leaf, volume by volume. She then sought to have an edition produced that might make the monumental work more accessable to a broader audience. Thus this edition embodies as much as can be captured of the original, maintaining the four volumes (mirroring Joyce's sections) and housed in a pictorial flapped slipcase, the inner flap of which contains a printed description of the project. Tight, bright, and unmarred. Color pictorial wraps housed in a matching flapped slipcase. 8vo. np. Illus. (colored plates). Numbered limited edition of 300. Signed by the artist.

Preserved in an archival mylar cover. "riverrun, past Eve and Adam's" Finnegans Wake is James Joyce's final novel, the culmination of seventeen years of experimentation that carried modernism to its outer limit. Conceived as a single night's dream encompassing all of human history, it transforms the lives of a Dublin publican, his wife, and their children into an endlessly recursive myth of fall and renewal. Written in a polyglot language that fuses English with fragments from dozens of tongues, the book compresses folklore, theology, and gossip into a dense musical weave that dissolves the boundaries between story, song, and history. Emerging after Ulysses as both its sequel and inversion, Finnegans Wake rejected the realist novel entirely, recasting fiction as a linguistic symphony meant to be heard as much as read. Its publication in 1939 divided critics and bewildered readers, yet it soon became one of the central monuments of twentieth-century literature, studied for its innovations in language, structure, and sound. Once dismissed as unreadable, it has since shaped the methods of Beckett, Burgess, and Pynchon, and remains unmatched in its ambition to encompass the whole of human speech within a single book.

Joyce began working on Finnegans Wake shortly after the 1922 publication of Ulysses. By 1924 installments of Joyce's new avant-garde work began to appear, in serialized form, in Parisian literary journals transatlantic review and transition, under the title "fragments from Work in Progress". The actual title of the work remained a secret until the book was published in its entirety, on 4 May 1939. The work has assumed a preeminent place in English literature. Anthony Burgess praised the book as "a great comic vision, one of the few books of the world that can make us laugh aloud on nearly every page." Harold Bloom called the book "Joyce's masterpiece", and wrote that "[if] aesthetic merit were ever again to center the canon [Finnegans Wake] would be as close as our chaos could come to the heights of Shakespeare and Dante." Modern Library named it one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.

IMPORTANT FIRST EDITION SIGNED BY JAMES JOYCE. A very desirable copy of this, the best and scarcest issue of the first editions. No book has ever been more ambitiously conceived than Joyce's FINNEGAN'S WAKE. If ULYSSES represents the pinnacle of the Modernist movement, FINNEGAN'S WAKE is a step beyond; it stands in the same relation to ULYSSES as ULYSSES does to A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST.an extension which is also a completely new conception. Joyce envisioned the book as nothing less than a "history of the world." Seventeen years in the writing, and composed in a sort of meta-language--"an Esperanto for the art of fiction"--it stands as a unique monument to language and literature and the modern age. Slocum and Calhoun A49; Bradbury, The Modern World, 157-176. About this work, he stated "'I might easily have written this story in the traditional manner. Every novelist knows the recipe.But I, after all, am trying to tell the story of this Chapelizod family in a new way. Time and the river and the mountain are the real heroes of my book. I am trying to build many planes of narrative with a single aesthetic purpose.'" (Ellmann).

One of 300 numbered copies, signed by the artist. 4 vols., 24 x 17cm, 44 + 44 + 36 + 36pp. Original publisher's softcover wrappers with original folding case. Spain, Nowhereman Press.  Fine.  In 2013, Ximena Pérez Grobet transformed a 1965 Faber & Faber copy of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake into a unique piece of book art. She 'altered it by unbinding it and cutting each page into thin strips of paper, almost line by line and then used two knitting needles to put them back together in the same order, thus recomposing the text of the novel; the text ends up compressed, each page knitted, I then rebound the book with its original cover.' 'A different, also plastic means is thus used to show the deep complexity housed in Finnegans Wake. I thereby convert Joyce's language into material and establish a new form of visual reading that not only respects the original structure, but also seeks to preserve the rhythm and form of style beyond the need for meaning, thus maintaining the original format and material of the publication and creating a visual tribute to the novel and its author.'  This facsimile, produced in an edition of 300 copies in 2022, presents Pérez Grobet's unique and important work in a more accessible format. .

"The most conspicuous innovation of Finnegans Wake is its use of 'dream-language'. After Ulysses Joyce believed that he had 'come to the end of English', and his last novel is a pervasive layering of multilingual puns in successive drafts which produces a fabric rich in semantic possibilities" (ODNB).
