"Riverrun to Livvy is one common reader's attempt to tempt more readers into entering the amazing maze that is Finnegans Wake. A quick scan of the Wake's first page definitely boggles the brain, overwhelming the mental circuits, but be assured those 24 lines of apparent nonsense hold almost more meaning than can be imagined. It's a venture that less than .01% of the the world's readers have ever endeavored to undertake but, with much scholarly assistance, my book provides an introduction for the adventurous, those unafraid to discover just how far out a literary work can go"--Www.riverruntolivvy.com.
