Pressestimmen
“Mr. Bishop has ventured on the process more boldly, more thoroughly, more imaginatively and more informedly than any of his predecessors. He makes the text comment on itself, as it was constructed to do; but, knowing the whole thing by heart (as I surmise), he is able to multiply a thousandfold the concords and discords of which a reader is aware, and to amplify them through an impressive array of theoretical circuitry.”—Robert M. Adams, New York Times Book Review
“Bishop shows a masterful command of the text and its nuances; but of even greater importance is his sense of the comic flair and wit that so distinguishes this ‘funferall’; it is the mark of a true Joycean. Because of its freshness of approach and positive contribution, it belongs in all libraries housing even a preliminary Wake collection.”—Choice
“Though it is well known that Joyce claimed that his intention in Finnegans Wake was to ‘reconstruct the nocturnal life,’ Bishop is the first scholar to see in this notion the key to Joyce’s wildly obscure masterpiece. His reading of Finnegans Wake as a night-book produces a new sense of the book’s form, shape, and structure. In his reading, Freud, Vico, and the Egyptian Book of the Dead take on new meaning, and his accounts of the geography and sexuality of the Wake are fascinating. Bishop brings a rare command of the text to his difficult enterprise, and the organization and prose are models of clarity. ‘You is feeling like you was lost in the bush, boy?’ Joyce’s Book of the Dark will help all serious readers of the Wake get their bearings.”—Keith Cushman, Library Journal
Kurzbeschreibung
“Joyce’s Book of the Dark gives us such a blend of exciting intelligence and impressive erudition that it will surely become established as one of the most fascinating and readable Finnegans Wake studies now available.”—Margot Norris, James Joyce Literary Supplement

This guy's read "Finnegans Wake" a thousand times, so it seems, and his knowledge of Joyce and environs is wide. I'd recommend "Joyce's Book of the Dark" for you Wakeans out there who need to dig deeper into the book of the delpth.

Trudging through the detritus of criticism on my book, I certainly find this one at least interesting. Mr Bishop also a very nice guy and a wonderful father, so give him a hand! Check it out, you'll feed his family! And in case you didnt know Im the NUMBER ONE author of the 20th Century, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it! -Cheers! Jimmy

For Joyce fanatics -- so deep it's mindboggling
13. Dezember 1996
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The ultimate treatment of Joyce's confusing classic,
Bishop's comprehensive analysis goes beyond typical
literary interpretations. Focusing of such diverse influences
as Vico's "New Science" and The Egyptian Book of the Dead, Bishop
shows the compexity of Joyce, as well as his almost
total command of the English language, and language in general.
If you've ever wondered about Vico's historical thesis, and
want to understand how Vico permeates Joyce, this is the book to read.
In the end, you'll come away with a better appreciation of Joyce's
text, and a feeling of amazement at Vico's poorly understood,
but far-sighted view of mankind.

An essential book for understanding Finnegans Wake
17. September 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
This is the best book I've found to serve as a companion on a descent into the depths of "Finnegans Wake." It will deepen a reader's understanding of Joyce's methods. The author's insights are original and exciting - unlike some other books, this one actually made me eager to jump back into Joyce's book, sure I would see things in a new light.
I'm coming close to completing my first reading of the Wake. I understand now that it's a book you need to read many times. For this first pass, though, Joseph Campbell's "Skeleton Key" and this "Book of the Dark" were great guides.
