Finnegans Wake is arguably the most difficult book to understand written in any language. Its inaccessibility makes it a problem for some. Then again, Einstein's papers on relativity are also inaccessible to most, but its doubtful that anyone would have a problem including them into the Western canon due to their extreme importance.

--->apex It is highly experimental and may be understood by only a few scholars.

Many readers may object to including Finnegans Wake in the western literary canon due to its dense and difficult-to-understand writing style, lack of a traditional narrative structure, and incorporation of multiple languages and wordplay. Some may argue that it is overly self-indulgent and exclusive, making it inaccessible to a wider audience and diminishing its relevance in the canon.
