>Finnegans Wake

Even the title is a complicated pun: Finn as in the French fin meaning "end" and egan sounding like "again", thus forming the oxymoron "end again". Wake refers to a party for the recently dead but also a joke because the dream content of Finnegans Wake takes place during Finnegan's sleep.
