particularly Eavan Boland, Elizabeth Tallent, and Tobias Wolff. I’m grateful for Scott Hutchins, Ed Schwarzschild, Todd Pierce, Skip Horack, and Neil Connelly, all of whom read versions of this book and responded with sage advice.

This novel could have no finer editor and champion than David Ebershoff. Warren Frazier, as always, is the prince of literary agents. Special thanks go to Phil Knight, who made a student of his teacher. Special thanks also to Dr. Patricia Johnson, Dr. James Harrell, and the Honorable Gayle Harrell. My wife lends my work inspiration and my children its purpose, so thank you Stephanie, and thank you Jupiter, James Geronimo, and Justice Everlasting.
