Finnegans Wake is the literary equivalent of a PhD theses on theoretical mathematics. It’s utterly wasted on people without decades of literary study

Finnegan's wake is clearly a troll that the literature community took seriously. we're talking about a guy that would start bar fights and then have Hemingway protect him.

See when I studied lit and writing in college literally all my professors said that literature that aims to be pretentious and inaccessible is bad writing.
