Review "Burgess has written a study of the most brilliant and humane of twentieth-century humanists." -- Philip Toynbee - The Observer "Recognizing the coming and cosmic in Joyce, [Burgess] proceeds with his self-imposed task of unraveling meaning by scrutinizing the layers of a mind that was encyclopedic in dimension... He has defined the perimeter of Joyces adventure in both Ulysses and Finnegans Wake... It took Burgess to place Joyces satire in its proper orbit." -- Saturday Review Review Text "Burgess has written a study of the most brilliant and humane of twentieth-century humanists."
