Description

If ever a novel needed a cocktail, it is Finnegans Wake. Two decades in the making, Joyce’s novel is a dream-like adventure using over sixty languages to create portmanteau words, polyglot puns, and 100-letter words to create the effect of thunder. Help us celebrate the 137th birthday (Feb 2) of one of The Rosenbach’s favorite authors . . . with a cocktail!

Featured Cocktail

The featured cocktail will be inspired by Joyce’s modernist masterpiece, Finnegans Wake.
