Note: From Joan Crane, Guy Davenport, A Descriptive Bibliography, 1947-1995 (Haverford, PA: Green Shade, 1996), p. 107 (B40):
" . . . According to GD, "The section of A & P called 'Joop Zoetemelk Gagne le Maillot Jaune' is a composite of 3 texts: (1) Joop (Antaeus) (2) Apples & Pears (Conjunctions 3) and (3) new material." Part of "Quagga", the third part, had been published in Art Papers 8:4. The second and fourth parts were new. Included in the new material is the GD translation of Rilke's 'Duino Elegy I'. "Apples and Pears" as a whole constitutes the first part of a trilogy continued in a group of four stories collected in The Jules Verne Steam Balloon (1987) and concluded with "Wo es war, soll ich werden" [in The Drummer of the Eleventh North Devonshire Fusiliers (1990)].
