Signs that you may be a literary historian who works on obscure novels, #291

You squeal "Yes!!! The Internet Archive has Geraldine of Desmond!" Then you dance happily around your office.  (After that, you download it to your computer so that it can never escape you again...unlike that ILL copy, which you were unable to renew.)

Nevertheless, you express some puzzlement at finding the novel classed in "Americana," since it's written by a novelist from Limerick (who never emigrated, as far as you can tell) and published in London.

[And finally, you stop writing in second person.  Or I stop writing in second person.  Now, back to work!]

You are writing in the second person. Perhaps you have recently read Charlie Stross' Halting State. A whole novel, written in the second person.

Amazing how quickly you adjust to it.

I feel your glee. But what of the Florence Stonebraker scholar? That poor soul must seek books that aren't available for download and can't be obtained through ILL.
