Acknowledgments

With great thanks to my editor, Nan Graham, for her close attention, galvanizing suggestions, and unerring wisdom; to Susan Moldow, for her valuable support; and to my agent Liz Darhansoff, for her good judgment and longtime friendship. My thanks to Tamar McCollom, Kara Watson, and everyone else at Scribner who had a hand in bringing out this book.

For various kinds of help with the creation of these stories, I want to thank Jill Ciment, Martha Gallahue, Allan Gurganus, Chiu-yin Hempel, my brothers Gardiner and Peter Hempel, Bret Anthony Johnston, Pearson Marx, Jill McCorkle, Rick Moody, Laurel Nakadate, Paola Peroni, Roger and Ginny Rosenblatt, Julia Slavin, Pat Towers, and Lou Ann Walker. Thank you, Syd Straw, for the very thing that allowed me to finish “The Chicane” thirty years after I started it.

I thank my fellow members of Compassion Care, who remain inspirations to me as they work to save the lives of dogs in extremis, in particular: Rebecca Ascher-Walsh, Jeff Latzer, Yolanda Crous, Laurie Daniels, Carol Rothschild, and Dr. Evelyne Cumps.

And I thank the always generous Chuck Palahniuk for telling me about the Butterbox Babies and Bette Cahill’s book about the little-known, horrific crimes in Nova Scotia. His research had shown him that he could not write about this because “there’s nothing funny about it.” So he offered it to me in case I could make something of it. This gift was the beginning of “Cloudland,” which takes its title from the haunting painting by Gloria Vanderbilt.
