  • Finnegans Wake is Joyce's "nightynovel" (night novel).

Joyce to William Bird about Finnegans Wake:

"They say it's obscure. They compare it, of course, with Ulysses. BUt the action of Ulysses was chiefly in the daytime, and the action of my new work takes place chiefly at night." (Richard Ellmann, James Joyce, p.590)
