Yes. I think the book Finnegans Wake is a good example of this.
But isn't it possible to dismiss Finnegans Wake as a special case? I
mean, most people who read it seem to find the book confusing and are
unclear on what the story is about or what is going on. So maybe there
is something wrong with that particular book.
I mean, if words have no intrinsic meaning in and of themselves, then
why is there a lack of controversey when it comes to say... the Dick
and Jane Reader?
