Nova Swing

Acknowledgements

A version of Chapter One was published at Amazon.com under the title "Tourism"; a few paragraphs of Chapter Ten appeared in Locus as part of an essay. I'm indebted to Luis Rodrigues, who made me think about saudade; Jukka Halme for the Finnish tango; Zali Krishna, not just a webmaster, but an eye across the manuscript; and Philippa McEwan, who loaned me her house to write in. The Phillips family proved as kind and supportive as ever.
