Notes

    • Although 'the two versions are not actually recognisable as being the same story', Bird has said that this work was originally written as an early draft of 'The Golden Moment'.
    • For further discussion see, Bird's Automatic Teller (1996) and Dear Writer (1996 edition); the latter of these publications contains critical analysis regarding the process of (re-)writing the story from its origins which were drafted several years earlier. (pp. 187-212)
