The biggest stumbling block facing any prospective reader of "Finnegans Wake" is the book itself, with its thousands of words of Joyce's inventions, derived from nearly every foreign language imaginable and from a host of other sources. Now extensively revised, expanded, and corrected, Roland McHugh's "Annotations" is a unique one-volume guidebook designed to be read side by side with the "Wake" itself.

"Unravels the mysteries of James Joyce."
(New York Times)"A daunting and delightful book."
(Modern Fiction Studies)"All readers who contemplate any exegetical move whatsoever in the Wake must put the revised Annotations on the top of their pile of reference books."
(James Joyce Quarterly)"McHugh remains admirable for his collection."
(Tim Conley James Joyce Quarterly)"It is hard to think of any reader of Finnegans Wake who would not have Roland McHugh's Annotations... on his desk."
(James Joyce Literary Supplement)"I don't think we still have readers such as Roland McHugh who read the Wake without any help: most novices read the Wake in one hand and McHugh's Annotations in the other."
(A Collideorscape of Joyce)Roland McHugh has been studying Finnegans Wake since 1965. In 1973 he moved to Dublin with a view to understanding the book more completely and has lived there ever since. His book, The Sigla of "Finnegans Wake," was described by Clive Hart as "the best book on Finnegans Wake yet written."
