Acknowledgments
I wish to thank three very different organizations. Two are professional.
Without the assistance of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, I never would have had the time to write this book. I'm inexpressibly honored. Without the annual book award of the Northeast Modern Language Association (NEMLA), this book would never have been published. I'm profoundly grateful.
The third organization is familialmy in-laws. I want to recognize a number of them, ranging from my sister-in-law, Elzira Soares, who gave me the use of a special room as well as the pleasure of some unforgettable lunches, to my mother-in-law, Oscarina Bueno, who provided still more room and more food. Gente que veio de Minas, feita de ouro s.
Finally, I want to thank my wife, Eva Bueno. She didn't suffer every moment of experience represented in this book. But she's provided the emotional intelligence that has enabled me to see every moment as worth trying to write about. Perhaps she will not be the only one to see how much this book is a haplessly disguised form of love for her.

Introduction Writing and Disguise
1. Writing Inside Out
A publisher's representative once told me the following story. He knocked on a professor's office door. A loud sigh could be heard as he was invited in. The professor gestured for him to sit in an unusually soft chair, and he proceeded to lose his balance, bumping his head, hard, on a bookcase behind the chair. "Oh, dear," the professor exclaimed, "I suppose I'm going to have to use your textbook now!" After I had stopped laughing, the publisher's representative told me that, as it turned out, the professor didn't choose any books from the rep's list, and he added, "you know, the bastard didn't even ask for an examination copy."
