Please join them at the James Joyce Centre on Saturday, 5 October at 6.30pm for the launch of two extraordinary new works of scholarship about James Joyce and Flann O'Brien.

Finnegans Wake – Human and Nonhuman Histories (Edinburgh UP; edited by Richard Barlow and Paul Fagan) opens new ground by exploring the productive tension between anthropocentric and non-anthropocentric readings of James Joyce’s final modernist masterpiece.

Flann O’Brien and the Nonhuman: Environments, Animals, Machines (Cork UP; edited by Katherine Ebury, Paul Fagan and John Greaney) is the first book to explore in detail the author’s interest in the agency, materiality, and potential sentience of environments, animals and machines.

Free admission, booking essential.
