"Herein a vote for Epstein's book and its old-school ways. When it comes to enterprises like this, old school is better than new school (not to mention New School), sex is way better than gender, and a brainy close reader with a well-stocked mind and an informed love of the text can still show the whippersnappers how it's done."

"If one were to apply a Vichian perspective to the history of Joyce studies, then Edmund Lloyd Epstein would surely belong to the heroic age, that is, to the first generation of critics working after Joyce's death. His latest book will redress this imbalance since it can be construed as the culmination of many decades spent studying both Joyce's final book and the criticism it continues to spawn with the best narratological reading of the Wake yet produced."
