Finn's Hotel
Finn's Hotelis a posthumously-published collection of ten short narrative pieces written by Irish authorJames Joyce.[1]Written in 1923, the works were not published until 2013 byIthys Press,who claimed the work to be a precursor to Joyce'sFinnegans Wake.[2]
Publication[edit]
Ithys Press published their fine arts edition ofFinn's Hotelin June 2013.[2]The edition was arranged with a preface byDanis Rose,an introduction bySeamus Deane,featuring eleven illustrations byCasey Sorrow,and design and letterpress printed by Michael Caine.
The publication attracted controversy as some Joyce scholars labeled the works as drafts, not meant for publication.[1][3][4][5]
In the spring of 2014, James O'Sullivan wrote an article forGenetic Joyce Studies,"Finn’s Hotel and the Joycean Canon", which uses computational stylistics to analyze the text ofFinn's Hotelto determine whether the text is merely early drafts or should be part of Joyce's canon. O'Sullivan concluded that "the fragments withinFinn’s Hotelare most likely drafts for what becameFinnegans Wake"and that statistically" the criticisms of Ithys Press are seemingly upheld. "[6]
