About this ebook
Joyce's Kaleidoscope aims to dissolve the supposed impenetrability of Finnegans Wake. Philip Kitcher suggests that the Wake is Joyce's "Portrait of the Artist as an Aging Man." Its dream-language is a device for investigating the sources of value in human lives, and, in the rich music of that language, Joyce celebrates the ordinary, offers his distinctive humanism, and provides a festival of life itself.
