A Story for Tea: Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Listen to the reading: https://ia601509.us.archive.org/24/items/adventures_holmes/adventureholmes_09_doyle.mp3 The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb was published in The Strand Magazine May, 1892 with illustrations by Sidney Paget. The story was published in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in 1892 by George Newnes of London and Harper & Brothers, in New York with illustrations by Sidney Paget. It is not known if the manuscript for the story still exists. The story and illustrations: http://168.144.50.205/221bcollection/canon/engr.htm I identify a great deal with Dr. Watson. It is very much an old British tradition for professionals in the sciences to also be writers and poets just like he is. He is a doctor and a writer, just like I am an electronics engineer and a writer.

A Story for Tea: COUNTERPARTS by James Joyce The story recounts an evening in the life of a man named Farrington, frequently referred to simply as "the man". Farrington’s difficulties begin at his clerical job when his boss Mr. Alleyne berates him for not having finished an assignment. Instead of applying himself immediately to the task, the alcoholic Farrington slips out of the office for a quick beer . . . Listen: http://www.miettecast.com/audio/Miette_Joyce_Counterparts.mp3 This is a masterclass in the development of an unlikable character. Farrington's lazy mindset, irresponsibility at work, insolence, alcoholism, wandering eye, and violence to his wife and children is highlighted to us brilliantly. The writer further distances us, the readers, from identifying with him by referring to him as "the man" rather than by his name or by the close personal "he/him". I use the same technique in my short story, THE CLOSET, by signalling alienation of the affection of the main narrator, Harry Duncan Wood, by moving from his "pet name" or term of endearment for his wife, Carrie, to her real name, Carla.
