When 'livvylong' is Chinese

Finnegans Wake, a hugely complicated work by Irish author James Joyce, will get a reception from Chinese readers in September.

The first volume of Finnegans Wake was translated by Dai Congrong, a Chinese language and literature professor of Fudan University, and will be published by Shanghai People's Publishing House.

"I was aware about how tough it would be from the very beginning," Dai says.
