Parts of this memoir have appeared in slightly different forms in the following publications: Ottawa Citizen, April 1, 2001; AWOL: Tales for Travel-Inspired Minds, Jennifer Barclay and Amy Logan, eds. (Vintage Canada, 2003); Word Carving: The Craft of Literary Journalism, Moira Farr and Ian Pearson, eds.

In the memoir I quote Isak Dinesen from an interview in The New York Times Book Review, November 3, 1957. I also quote from The Boy in the Moon: A Father’s Search for His Disabled Son, Ian Brown (Vintage Canada, 2010); The White Album: Essays, Joan Didion (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2009); and The Year of Magical Thinking, Joan Didion (Vintage, 2007).
