Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

For a spectacular punning conjunction of sex and cricket, sample pages 583-4 of Finnegans Wake. Here comes everybody, indeed.

You might spend a lifetime diving into the folds of Joyce's last masterpiece. Should you choose to (or opt for a swifter dip), this edition is – thanks to editors Finn Fordham, Robbert-Jan Henkes and Erik Bindervoet – probably the handiest to use, now that the Joyce estate no longer polices copyright.

An epic tide of verbal ingenuity and historical vision flows before you... "riverrun, past Eve and Adam's from swerve of shore to bend of bay". So why not plunge in?
