About the Author

Roland McHugh moved to Dublin in 1973 in order to understand Finnegans Wake more completely and has lived there ever since. He is the author of The Sigla of "Finnegans Wake" and The "Finnegans Wake" Experience.

Reviews

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

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

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

McHugh remains admirable for his collection.
--Tim Conley, James Joyce Quarterly

Unravels the mysteries of James Joyce.
--New York Times
