First We Feel Then We Fall – Sign, Poster & WEB About: Finnegans Wake is the last, most mysterious book by the Irish writer James Joyce. Usually described as a novel, it is a fascinating text written primarily in English (more strictly Hiberno-English), but the words are often fused with any of several dozen languages, creating a dreamlike narration., Full of sexual innu- endoes, historical, literary, autobiographical allusions and hilarious wordplays, multiple plots of Finne- gans Wake develop in non-linear ways and can be followed like a maze, or a hypertext. Based on a cyclical vision of history, the book is a textual merry-go-round, too: it begins mid sentence and ends with another one broken in the middle, which nds its continuation on the rst page: the same anew. FIRST WE FEEL THEN WE FALL is a multimedia project based on the same principals.
