User talk:Asreindl

Hi! I slightly edited your user talk page---you had a leading space so your text was displaying strangely. This also has the benefit of showing that... other people can edit your user page (which can be a little... suprising, to realize).

Try to add a link to the page(s) you're working on! Csforster (talk) 21:50, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Mrs. Mooney, separated from her husband, a butcher who descended into alcoholism, runs a boarding house for working men who facetiously refer to her as "The Madam". Her daughter Polly entertains the boarders by singing and flirting with them.

Context
Joyce finished writing “The Boarding-House” by July 13, 1905, while he was in the midst of writing Stephen Hero. In a letter to his brother, Stanislaus Joyce, James wrote: “I send you tomorrow the fifth story of ‘Dubliners’ that is, ‘The Boarding-House’. You are to dispose of it if you can to an English or American paper. I have also written the sixth story, ‘Counterparts’… I am uncommonly well pleased with these stories.” However, Joyce ultimately admitted to the stories’ unflattering depiction of Dublin, claiming that their “frigidities” were due to the unpleasant heat in Trieste, where he was living at the time.

Nice work!
