Some Possible Solutions

Начало книги

This book was written over the course of the past decade. In that time, I have been beyond fortunate to receive a great deal of nurturing and support from a great many individuals and institutions. It is a profound delight to acknowledge:

My agent, Faye Bender, for her tranquillity and her guidance.

My editor, Sarah Bowlin, with whom it has been a joy to collaborate, and the rest of the Henry Holt team, especially Leslie Brandon, Kerry Cullen, Lucy Kim, Jason Liebman, and Maggie Richards.

The editors who assisted me in revising drafts of these stories, especially Halimah Marcus, Benjamin Samuel, and Rob Spillman.

The publications in which pieces from this book first appeared, some in slightly different form: “The Knowers” in Electric Literature; “The Messy Joy of the Final Throes of the Dinner Party” on PRI’s Selected Shorts; “Life Care Center” in The Iowa Review; “The Joined” in Mississippi Review; “Flesh and Blood” and “Children” in Tin House; “When the Tsunami Came” in The Pinch; “One of Us Will Be Happy; It’s Just a Matter of Which One” in Fairy Tale Review; “Things We Do” in DIAGRAM; “R” and “How I Began to Bleed Again After Six Alarming Months Without” in Unstuck; “The Worst” in ArtFaccia; “The Beekeeper” in Isthmus; and “Wedding Stairs” in Slice.
