They are mostly incomparable, but for me these experiences shared an important feature: they required the support, encour- agement, and critical feedback of many, many people. Books give one the opportunity to thank the people who helped, and thus could begin an extensive list of the differences in these activ- ities. Instead, I would like to thank as many people as I can for making this book possible. First, thanks to all the people who supported my work on this project from its very early stages to right now. It’s hard for me to separate out who gave me support as a friend, a colleague, or a mentor, and I think that is a sign of my great good fortune. My enormous thanks to Buick Audra, Carolyn Benedict, Valri Bromfield, Amy Bryant, Edward Burger, Julie Carr, Polly Case, Amanda Chiampi, Natalie Cisneros, Stacy Clifford, Elizabeth Covington, Kate Cox, Carolyn Cusick, Rebecca Davenport, Christina Dickerson, Idit Dobbs-W einstein, Amanda Dort, Nate Dort, Michael Eck, Sarah Kate Edwards, Teddy Edwards, Pete Emerson, Jennifer Foley, Mona Frederick, Edward Friedman,
