Acknowledgments
Thanks first and foremost to Lee Harris, my editor, who has been an excellent friend and given good advice throughout the ups and downs of my career to date. It’s great to be working with you again, Lee!
Thanks to my agent, Jennifer Udden of the Barry Goldblatt Literary Agency, for sanity checks and edits.
And, of course, thanks always to Peter. For everything.
