The Moth

This story touches many parts of the United States, as well as a corner of Europe, alluding to various localities the reader will find familiar, and an occasional public figure. The characters, however, are imaginary, as are the incidents that engage them, and most of the specific settings. They do not represent, and are not intended to represent, actual persons, events, or places; nor have they been drawn, under disguise or in any other way, from the life of the author.
