Acknowledgments
In addition to thanking Fay Weldon, not only for her work but for her generosity of spirit and willingness to support this project through all its phases, I want to thank Fay's assistant and my lifeline in London, Jane Wynborne, who helped every inch of the way. In my own office, the work of two extraordinary research assistants, Julie Nash (who saw the manuscript through from the beginning) and Valarie Smith (who added essential finishing touches), allowed me to focus on the business of creating a better book rather than frantically searching for yet another misplaced footnote. In addition, agent Diane Cleaver, editors Jeanne West and David Caffry, and the Research Foundation at the University of Connecticutespecially the office of Dean Thomas Giolasall contributed their support and encouragement in essential ways. My thanks, too, to the various publishers who have allowed material initially or partially printed elsewhere to be published here, including Allure magazine (where "Infidelity" first appeared), Wayne State University Press, and Gordon and Breach, Publishers.
