Finnegans Wake

What once was an entertaining puzzle with glimpses of familiarity, now becomes deeply insightful and the key to a vast fount of knowledge. The puzzle ultimately becomes a satisfying experience. Dr Zulfiqar Ali Chaudray’s painstaking research reveals surprisingly familiar Eastern references throughout James Joyce’s inimitable work.
“Finnegans Wake is a huge mishmash of the world’s heritage of literature and history, epics and religions, fused with the contemporaneous paraphernalia and phantasmagoria of the time of its own composition.”
- Dr Ali Choudhry

"The checkered territory of Finnegans Wake has been extensively charted, but mainly from a predominantly Eurocentric perspective. In 'Finnegans Wake: Some Eastern Aspects' Zulfiqar Ali now fills a wide gap by turning to a neglected Asian background and concentrating on an abundance of Arabian, Indian, Islamic and Persian elements. The numerous acute details will increase our grasp of a still largely opaque text."
