Dear
Sir, I have almost finished a
book which I would like to submit to you. It is called '
Dubliners.' It is a
collection of twelve
short stories. Each
story is perhaps of 1800 or 2000 words. The book is not a collection of
tourist impressions but an attempt to represent certain aspects of the life of one of the
European capitals. I am an
Irishman, as you will see by the name. I am anxious that the book be published as soon as possible and this is the reason why I offer it to you
beforehand. I shall be much obliged if you will tell me whether you would like to read it or not and
excuse me if my request is an
unusual one.
