Limited Edition Audiotape
  James Joyce

The American debut of Patrick Healy's unabridged audio reading of James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake'. Available in audiotape. Limited edition. In January 1992, over four days, Patrick Healy, a Dublin-born writer and editor, read the complete text of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. The feat to create a recording of arguably the greatest piece of western literature has been recognized as an amazing achievement in literature and audio. One reviewer stated, "Healey possesses a voice that seems especially created to realize the Wake. His Irish accent touches the syllables of the text and sparks them to life, lifting them off the page and sending them skirling into the cusp of your ear."
