I would like to thank Laura Goering, Bonnie Nadzam, and Scott Carpenter for their insightful readings of earlier drafts of this book and for their many helpful suggestions.

And for their expertise and faith, I extend my gratitude to my agent, Barney Karpfinger, and my editor, Carole DeSanti.

And finally, I would like to acknowledge the generous support of the National Endowment for the Arts and Carleton College.
