European and say a pair of Poles bring round Irishman's work (9,4)
I believe the answer is:
finnegans wake
'irishman's work' is the definition.
(novel by James Joyce)
'european and say a pair of poles bring round' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'finn' (someone from Finland).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'say' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
'pair of poles' becomes 'NS' (North and South Poles).
'bring round' becomes 'wake' (to wake someone is to bring them round).
'finn'+'eg'+'a'+'ns'+'wake'='FINNEGANS WAKE'
(Other definitions for finnegans wake that I've seen before include "Book by James Joyce" , "James Joyce novel" , "book title" , "Knew insane fag (anag) -- novel by 5" , "Irish achievement" .)
