Acknowledgments
Thanks to my writer pals Carla Vissers and Heidi BellI toast you with every glass. Thanks to Jaimy Gordon for her wisdom and her unwavering confidence. Thanks to Stuart Dybek for his practical approach, which has made writing both less and more mysterious. As my deadline neared, Lisa Lenzo's help was a godsend. Susanna, harsh critic and devoted fan (and also my mother), has inspired much in these stories, and my darling Christopher has kept me honest.
