“For reasons I’m not entirely sure I can adequately explain, the writing came, but it came slowly. My process, it seemed, was more in sync with geologic time than with publishing time. And while I’m sure he was none too pleased when we entered the fifth year of this endeavor, and then the seventh, and then the ninth, my longtime editor, Sean McDonald, never cast doubt into my mind that I would one day finish, that one day there would be a book we could both feel proud of. For Sean’s patience, de...votion, loyalty, friendship, and sage direction, for his illuminating notes and great instincts, I am deeply grateful. Without him, I could have very easily wandered off into the wilderness and never returned. I extend similar gratitude and thanks to Jin Auh at the Wylie Agency, who never ceases to go above and beyond. She read multiple drafts, provided valuable insights along the way, and accomplished the impossible task of rescuing my spirits when they needed rescuing. Thank you to Zoe Pagnamenta, formerly of the Wylie Agency, for selling the book to Sean when my children were just out of diapers (they’re now in high school), for being a dear friend in the intervening years, and for providing good company and a country retreat, where many of these pages were written.MoreLessRead More Read Less
