A Shorter Finnegans Wake (Used)

Anthony Burgess's 1966 edition condenses James Joyce's notoriously difficult novel to about a third of its original length, adding a substantial introductory essay and linking commentary between the retained passages. Burgess described it as offering "the gist of the book, together with a brief account of what Joyce was trying to do and a number of signposts," intended as an accessible entry point into a text many readers find impenetrable.
