Caribou Island

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I’d like to thank Mary Mount, Joe Pickering, Matt Clacher, Matthew Byrne, and Tina Gumnior at Penguin for their brilliance and hard work, Tom Weldon for his support, and Peter Straus. So many others in the UK, Ireland, New Zeland, and Australia have been unbelievably generous to me, and I’m deeply grateful. Then there’s my wife, Nancy Flores, who was cheerful even when there was no book, no job, no money, and I wore the same sweater every day for a year.
