  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  I have benefited greatly from the wonderful critical insights of my publisher, Eric Chinski, who reshaped the book in a number of important ways. I am also grateful to my colleagues at Columbia: Tom Jessell, Scott Small, Daniel Salzman, Mickey Goldberg, and Eleanor Simpson, for their thoughtful and detailed reading of an earlier draft. I am again deeply indebted to my wonderful editor, Blair Burns Potter, who worked with me on three earlier books and once again brought her critical eye and her insightful editing to this book. Finally, I am much indebted to Sarah Mack for her editorial work and development of the art program, and to Pauline Henick, who patiently typed the many versions of this book and skillfully guided it to completion.
