Acknowledgments
First, I would like to thank Anna Biller for her countless contributions to this book: the research, the many discussions, her invaluable help with the text itself, and, last but not least, her knowledge of the art of seduction, of which I have been the happy victim on numerous occasions.
I must thank my mother, Laurette, for supporting me so steadfastly throughout this project and for being my most devoted fan.
