In “The Gloves Are Off,” the roofs of nearby houses are being redone with reeds, and the reeds, the narrator tells us, are great big beautiful round bundles. Associative thinking, reverie, self-reflection, and keen awareness provide pinpricks of tension. Pond’s unnamed narrator lives her mostly solitary life on the outskirts of a small Irish coastal village near the River Shannon. What, then, is left? What is this new space in the form?

Today, I can offer aspiring authors this hard-earned advice: If you want to write halfway decent books, start by writing truly horrendous screenplays. Then, all too aware of my script failure rate, I decided to attempt a "practice novel" using everything I'd learned about character development, plotting, dialogue, and description. As I'd been studying screenwriting for eight years, I immediately began to craft this idea into a script. In late 2003, I had a dream about a girl playing football. The Dairy Queen series began with a dream and ends with a pizza.
