- Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress es una colección de ensayos críticos acerca de Finnegans Wake, la última novela de James Joyce. La colección fue publicada en 1929 por la editorial . La expresión Work in Progress aludía al título preliminar bajo el que se publicaron algunos fragmentos de la futura Finnegans Wake en la revista transition. Los ensayos de Our Exagmination fueron redactador por escritores que conocieron personalmente a Joyce y siguieron el desarrollo del libro en diferentes etapas. Otros, como Beckett, pertenecían al círculo más cercano de discípulos joyceanos. Our Exagmination fue publicado diez años antes que el Wake apareciera en forma de libro. Colaboraron con sus ensayos: el posterior Nobel de Literatura Samuel Beckett, los estudiosos de la obra de Joyce Frank Budgen y Stuart Gilbert, el editor de transition, Eugene Jolas, el peruano Victor Llona, el poeta estadounidense William Carlos Williams, Robert McAlmon, Thomas MacGreevy, Elliot Paul, John Rodker, Marcel Brion y Robert Sage. Dos "cartas de protesta" (de G.V.L. Slingsby y ) fueron también incluidas en Our Exagmination. Por entonces, se rumoreaba que era Joyce el que había escrito la segunda carta, como una particular protesta en contra de sí mismo. Sylvia Beach y Richard Ellmann sostenían esta sospecha, basados en un juicio estilístico. Posteriormente, se confirmó que realmente existía un hombre llamado Vladimir Dixon, que habría enviado esta carta a la librería Shakespeare and Company, y de esta manera, el texto habría terminado como parte de Our Exagmination. Sin embargo, llama la atención que dos conocedores de la obra de Joyce, como Beach y Ellman, fueran engañados por un imitador de la prosa joyceana, hasta entonces completamente desconocido.

- Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress is a 1929 collection of critical essays, and two letters, on the subject of James Joyce's book Finnegans Wake, then being published in discrete sections under the title Work in Progress. All the essays are by writers who knew Joyce personally and who followed the book through its development:
* Samuel Beckett ("Dante... Bruno. Vico.. Joyce")
* Marcel Brion ("The Idea of Time in the Work of James Joyce")
* Frank Budgen ("James Joyce's Work in Progress and Old Norse Poetry")
* Stuart Gilbert ("Prolegomena to Work in Progress")
* Eugene Jolas ("The Revolution of Language and James Joyce")
* Victor Llona ("I Dont Know What to Call It but Its Mighty Unlikely Prose")
* Robert McAlmon ("Mr. Joyce Directs an Irish Word Ballet")
* Thomas MacGreevy ("The Catholic Element in Work in Progress")
* Elliot Paul ("Mr. Joyce's Treatment of Plot")
* John Rodker ("Joyce and His Dynamic")
* ("Before Ulysses - and After")
* William Carlos Williams ("A Point for American Criticism") Two "letters of protest" are also included in the Exagmination, from G.V.L. Slingsby ("Writes a Common Reader") and Vladimir Dixon ("A Litter to James Joyce"). "G.V.L. Slingsby" was the pseudonym of a woman journalist who complained about the difficulty of Work in Progress to Sylvia Beach, the publisher of Joyce's Ulysses. Since Joyce wanted the collection to contain negative criticism as well as positive, Beach invited the woman to write a pseudonymous article in dispraise of Joyce's new work. The journalist complied, choosing her pseudonym from Edward Lear's The Story of the Four Little Children Who Went Round the World. Stuart Gilbert and Sylvia Beach believed that Joyce wrote the second letter of protest himself, as it is addressed to "Mr. Germs Choice" and "Shame's Voice" alternately (two puns on Joyce's name), and the letter itself is written in a pastiche of the punning style that Joyce was then using in his published work. Their assumption, however, was challenged and proven false by the discovery in the late 1970s of a number of books and letters authored by the historical Vladimir Dixon, a minor poet of Russian verse living in France during the 1920s.
