A Shorter Finnegans Wake.
A Shorter Finnegans Wake.
Stock Code 110483
London, Faber & Faber Limited, [1966].
'Anthony Burgess has cut down Joyce's masterpiece to its bare essentials and has provided a sort of waking commentary, as well as a long and enlightening introduction. He hopes that readers of this small labour of love will be tempted to proceed to the whole big uncut book and learn to revel in its humour and homely profundity. It is one of the great works of the age, as well as one of the funniest. We ignore it at or peril' (blurb).
First Burgess edition, first impression, casebound issue; 8vo (22.5 x 14.5 cm); publisher's green cloth, gilt spine, original typographic dust-jacket, price-clipped, very minor wear to cloth extremities, edges of jacket slightly frayed, peeling with areas of loss; 278pp.
