I invite everyone who has been putting Finnegans Wake aside as an unreadable Moloch, to have a look at this transcription in plain English that you can download for free during the weekend (from Friday May 23, 2025, 12:00 AM PDT till Saturday May 24, 2025, 11:59 PM PDT ) by following this link.

Joyce claimed that by writing Finnegans Wake he was attempting to “reconstruct the nocturnal life”, and that the book was his “experiment in interpreting ‘the dark night of the soul’.” Alas, for most lovers of English literature, he (subconsciously?) created a reader’s ultimate nightmare.
The impression exists that only accomplished philologists have ever managed to decipher the novel’s polysemantic vocabulary that was borrowed from approximately sixty-five languages and dialects.
The primary transcription goal of Finnegans Wake into Here Comes Everybody’s Karma was to open Joyce’s Opus Magnum for a wider reading public by replacing the foreign language idiosyncrasies with an English equivalent and by streamlining Joyce’s sibylline prose.
This required me to engage with the prose of Finnegans Wake that goes beyond that of simply transcribing the text in readable English.
While the foreign language idiosyncrasies in Finnegans Wake are often open constructs that gave place to multiple interpretations, transcribing this novel into plain English required choices to be made which translation would fit best with my interpretation of Finnegans Wake.
I chose to interpret the novel from a personal crypto-mathematical perspective by placing the novel into a contemporary context that reflects the links that can be laid between Finnegans Wake and some Asiatic philosophical tenets, quantum mechanics, and the system theory.

Cryptomathics is a method to access a new way of thinking, which can enrich our lives and empower us to better understand the world and our place in it. It is an invitation to discover the hidden structure of the universe using analytic mathematical tools. People who get curious about the subject and google it, will most likely stumble upon a website of a company that develops cryptographic codes that are meant for securing online transactions or confidential messages. Their goal is to encode information while a cryptomathician tries to decode information about the hidden structures of our reality.

I had to leave out the decorative page frames due to some formatting issues, but could keep them around the illustrations. You can download the Kindle version for free from Friday May 23, 2025, 12:00 AM PDT till Saturday May 24, 2025, 11:59 PM PDT on this link. After that it costs 9.99 USD. Book reviews of the print version can be found on Goodreads and reviewers are invited to leave their impression of the book under the same link or on Amazon (or both, if it’s not too much asked for).

PS. People who have a Kindleunlimited subscription can download it at any moment free of extra charge.
