Abstract:
Part I. My toughest 'self-splits' and what produced them -- A devout Mormon is challenged by rival selves -- A pious moralist confronts a cheater -- The cheerful poser comforts a griever, or, A would-be tough buy meets grief and conceals the tears -- My many selves confront the man who believes in love -- Ambition vs. teaching fro the love of it -- The hypocritical Mormon missionary becomes a skilled masker, and discovers 'hypocrisy-upward' -- The puritan preaches at the luster while the hypocrite covers the show -- The lover becomes a trapped army private -- An egalitarian quarrels scornfully with a hypocritical bourgeois -- A college dean struggles to escape -- Part 2. The splits multiply- in somewhat less torturous form -- The quarrel between the cheater and the moralist produces gullible-Booth -- A wandering generalist longs to be a true scholar -- A would-be novelist mourns behind the would-be lover and would-be scholar -- The committed father and husband, as lover, shouts 'For same!' at all the other selves -- The man of peace tries to tame the slugger -- Interlude: A potpourri of chapters I refuse to write (let alone include) -- Part 3. Aging, religion, and-surprise!-the quest for a plausible harmony -- The old fart debates with a bunch of young Booths, while posing as younger than 84 -- Harmony at last?
