I have read Finnegans Wake twice and both times I really enjoyed it. I have decided to read it a third time though and wanted to dig deeper into some of the hidden symbolism and was looking for a few reference books about it.
I have heard that Joseph Cambell's "Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake" is a good place to start, and I think I will use it but I am looking for more than just one book.
Some of the books I am considering buying are:
Joyce's Kaleidoscope: An Invitation to Finnegans Wake (Hardcover)
by Philip Kitcher
Joyce's Book of the Dark: Finnegans Wake (Mark H Ingraham Prize)
by John Bishop
A Word In Your Ear: How & Why To Read James Joyce's Finnegans Wake
by Eric Rosenbloom
Lots of Fun at Finnegans Wake: Unravelling Universals
by Finn Fordham
Has anyone read any of these books or does anyone have suggestions on good books about the Wake to read?
There are two books that I think are indispensable to a deeper reading of the Wake: "Annotations to Finnegans Wake" by Roland McHugh, which provides line by line and page by page references for many of the words and allusions buried within the text; and "Wake Rites - The Ancient Irish Rituals of Finnegans Wake" by George Cinclair Gibson, a scholar who seems to have finally uncovered the key to the hidden structure of the book.
The "Skeleton Key" was a noble first effort by Campbell and Robinson, but its one-dimensional translations of many of the passages are misleading at best. I much prefer William York Tindall's "A Reader's Guide to Finnegans Wake." He seems to get the jokes.
Bishop's "Joyce's Book of the Dark" is quite good at explicating many of the denser thickets in the book and is generally helpful, if a little narrowly focused. I haven't read any of the other three books you've listed, but I'd have to say that the best advice I ever received concerning the Wake was the instruction to read it out loud, especially with a group of friends and ample amounts of Guinness and Irish whiskey at hand.
