Dead Boys: Stories

Acknowledgments

Thank you to everyone at Little, Brown, especially Asya Muchnick and Michael Pietsch, who took a big chance.

Thank you to my agent, Timothy Wager, who found me and stuck by me.

Thank you to everyone at the publications in which some of these stories were originally published. Without you, this book would not exist.

Thank you to T. C. Boyle and Jim Boyle, who encouraged me in the beginning.

And, finally, thank you to my family and friends, who make my life the good thing that it is.
