Herewith a list of other resources, most more scholarly and comprehensive than this one, no doubt to be built and expounded upon as wakes pass on.

As one might imagine, critical study of Finnegans Wake is nigh impossible without a singular and constant line-by-line reference. Here is one.

Here’s a site containing a gaggle of Glosses for the Wake.

To give one an earful of what the books sounds like, here’s audio of Joyce reading from the Anna Livia Plurabelle section.

Roaratorio, an Irish circus on Finnegans Wake was composed by John Cage in 1979 for Klaus Schöning of West German Radio. (It’s on You Tube. Dig it.) Texts from the Wake also appear also in Cage’s songs, The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs (1942) and Nowth upon Nacht (1984). The text of Roaratorio was published separately as Writing for the Second Time through Finnegans Wake.

You may hear Joey Ramone sing a piece by John Cage adapted from Finnegans Wake here.
