TV Set Arrives Without Notice From Richmond Visitor
On a rural porch the narrator recalls a doorstep delivery of a television set arranged by the narrator's son in Richmond. The arrival unsettles the family, especially Fannie who commands the setup while the narrator frets about spending too much time in front of the screen. The essay describes local views of markets and agriculture workers across state offices including Asheville Charlotte and Elizabeth City and notes interruptions from a noisy car battery buyer at a filling station.
