author’s inexperience. I also thank the anonymous readers whose observations made the book much stronger. Of course, any errors are my own.
On a personal level, I must recognize the Institute Library in New Haven, a little-known gem, which became my asylum for writing and thinking. Finally, I thank my partner, Mark, who generously put up with years of reading, writing, and obsessing. How will I try your patience now?
