Acknowledgments

This novel was not written without help. I drew historical fact and color from the following excellent books: The 900 Days by Harrison Evans Salisbury; Everyday Stalinism by Sheila Fitzpatrick; The Vavilov Affair by Mark Popovsky; The Lysenko Affair by David Joravsky; The Komarov Institute by Stanwyn Shetler; Babylon by Joan Oates; The Ancient Near East, edited by James B. Pritchard; Daily Life in Ancient Mesopotamia by Karen Rhea Nemet-Nejat; Everyday Life in Babylon and Assyria by Georges Contenau; and Leningrad Diary by Vera Inber, translated by Serge M. Wolff and Rachel Grieve. I also gained information from Web-published material by Barry Mendel Cohen and photographer Ilya Narovlyansky. I got an idea and a reading of Voltaire from Susan Neiman’s terrific book Evil in Modern Thought. The epigraph from Paul Valéry is from The Outlook for Intelligence, translated by Denise Folliot and Jackson Mathews. Throughout the writing, I drew inspiration and information from the publications and important work of the Seed Savers Exchange.

I am grateful to everyone at Little, Brown and Company, especially Michael Pietsch and Asya Muchnick. Thanks to John Ware, friend and fabulous agent. I also thank for their crucial support Meredith Blackwell, other members of my family (including Blackwells, Mays, and Bajos), and my friends. I am indebted to the writing program of the University of California, Irvine, the Squaw Valley Community of Writers, and Princeton University Press. For recognizing in me abilities not necessarily apparent to others, Dan Howell, Patricia Geary, Louis Owens, Paul Majkut, Mary Reardon, and Adam Fortgang deserve special thanks.

Any appreciation I could extend to David Bajo or to Esme Claire Bajo would fall absurdly short. I dedicate this book to them.
