Introduction by Katherine A. Powers
A Note on the Text
1. Fortunately, I am under no obligation to earn a living wage
2. With you it will be like being ten years old again
3. Should a giraffe have to dig dandelions?
4. It would seem you have the well-known business sense
5. I am like Daniel Boone cutting my way through that bourgeois wilderness
6. Something seems to be missing, and you say it’s me
7. Camaraderie
8. I’ve a few stipulations to read into the rural-life-family-life jive
9. The truth about me is that I just don’t qualify as the ideal husband
10. If you can’t win with me, stop playing the horses!
11. I’m beyond the point where I think the world is waiting for me as for the sunrise
12. The water, the green, the vines, stone walls, the pace, all to my taste
13. In Ireland, I am an American. Here, I’m nothing
14. A place too good to believe we live in
15. I had a very fine time—laughing as I hadn’t in years
16. There have been times, though not recently, when it has seemed to me that I might escape the doom of man
17. Four children now, Jack. And this year, the man said, bock beer is not available in this area
18. The Man Downstairs is entertaining tonight. Pansy and Dwight are quiet
19. This room is like a dirty bottle, but inside is vintage solitude
20. Scabrous Georgian, noble views of the sea, turf in the fireplaces
21. The office is in Dublin, on Westland Row
22. About Don, I haven’t been the same since I read your letter
23. Back and wondering why
24. The J. F. Powers Company: “The Old Cum Permissu Superiorum Line”
25. No money is the story of my life
26. The day was like other days, with the author napping on the floor in the middle of the afternoon
27. As a winner, let me say you can’t win, not on this course
28. Ireland grey and grey and grey, then seen closer, green, green, green
