Finnegans Wake - Joy's

Is "Finnegans Wake" the most famous Irish book? Sitting here drinking a Guinness and contemplating what Joe Bidens Louth relation James Finnegan, thought of this book? I stopped at the Harrys Cross Bridge and thought, "were there cars driving or mounting over this bridge in Joy's time?" Was James Hoban aware of James Finn-E-Gan before the days of AI GAN's?

Ulysses is much more famous. Finnegans Wake didn't make the top 10 in an international survey some years ago. As for James Finnegan, he'd never even heard of the book as he was long dead when it was published.

And what about James Hoban, was he an American plumber or something?

I'm sorry to hear about James Finnegan, was it a car accident?

What is Trump doing here, dressed as a Dandy Fellow wearing a Black Veiled Joy Rider? Is he trying to compete with Biden's old fashioned relations "James"? Nice One but U guys know energy 88

And look, he's figured out the Quarter system?

No. Not even close. As another poster has said, that'd be Ulysses.
