Acknowledgments
Deepest thanks and appreciation to Elisabeth Dyssegaard, who I was lucky enough to have as my editor, and Theresa Karle, Nina R. Shield, and all at Hyperion; to the peerless David Kuhn, and to Jessi Cimafonte and Billy Kingsland at Kuhn Projects; to Col Allan and The New York Post for its support, and editors Margi Conklin, Serena French, critic Elisabeth Vincentelli, and especially Steve Lynch for his generosity and insight.
This book would not have been possible without William Van Meter, Steve Knopper, Hal Horowitz, Carrie Borzillo, Alisa Wolfson, Laura Schy, Chris Barth, and Erica Futterman. And equally without the love, advice, and support of William F. and Mary Callahan, Billy Callahan, Marc Spitz, Lizzy Goodman, James Iha, Lara Behnert, Tracey Pepper, Sarah Mullins, Mrs. Eileen Kennedy of Sacred Heart Academy, and the late Paul Good.
