ARABY

以第一人稱講述整個故事，運用大量意識流獨白。小男孩暗戀鄰居大姊姊(Mangan’s sister)，想為他前往市集買禮物，而最後卻幻滅什麼都沒買。

ARABY→1894都柏林曾舉辦Grand Oriental Fete的東方市集活動，因此ARABY帶有東方神秘色彩。

She was waiting for us, her figure defined by the light from the half-opened door. Her brother always teased her before he obeyed and I stood by the railings looking at her. Her dress swung as she moved her body and the soft rope of her hair tossed from side to side.
文字中不時出現迷戀大姊姊的軀體形象的描述，小男生和大姊姊的對話僅一兩句
僅只於外表的了解，加上小男生自行腦補的大量幻想。
