Philly Stakes (2012)
“When I wrote this book, more than two decades ago, I decided to keep the series in an unspecific “now,” but I failed to anticipate how quickly “now” becomes “then” and perhaps even “when on earth was that?”
As the series progressed, that vague “now” stretched over twenty years of real time, while spanning only two years in the lives of Amanda and C. K. Mackenzie. Too much changed in the real world for me to unobtrusively edit this electronic version (something not dreamed of when this was writt...en) into our current “now.”
So you’ll undoubtedly notice that Amanda feels she can’t leave home and miss an important phone call, and that her newly acquired answering machine is mysterious to her, and even more so to her mother.
Philadelphia’s Wanamaker’s Department Store—established in 1876—was named because it seemed as solid as the one-ton bronze eagle in its center or the Liberty Bell, but it’s now history.
This was written during the dark time when the AIDS epidemic was horrifically new, hence her mother’s mailings about “safe sex,”MoreLess
