Author’s Disavowal

With two exceptions, nobody you know, living or dead, appears in this work; the characters are otherwise entirely imaginary. The exceptions are Talcum Malcolm, derived from ‘Talc Alf’, sculptor, philosopher and amateur etymologist of Lyndhurst, South Australia; and Sahara, the whippet-Staffordshire terrier cross who belonged to my late brother Dennis. Although I have tried, I have fallen short of creating on the page the true aggressiveness and malice of this real-life bitch. Sahara menaced everyone she met but she adored Dennis, whose charity exceeded even Sahara’s malignity.
