Reviews

“With detailed entries keyed to words and phrases from Joyce’s text, Hamid Farahmandian’s study provides deeply-informed context for the Finnegans Wake’s rich tapestry of allusions to the languages, cultures, religions, history and literature of the region centred around modern-day Iran. From fragments of everyday Persian to the key principles of Zoroastrianism, Iran in Finnegans Wake lays the groundwork for a fresh reading of Joyce’s ‘thousand and one stories, all told’ from the perspective of an ancient and complex cultural and literary tradition.” -Russell Smith, Australian National University
