Читать книгу Yield - Lee Houck - Страница 5

This story was sometimes a lonely one to write. But during the years that it took shape, I was lucky to be surrounded by family and friends who brought me out of the apartment for rooftop phone calls to all corners of the earth, waxy paper cups of Italian ice, sour cream biscuits, swing sets in evening playgrounds, and endless (maybe they felt that way to you) hours of creative discourse:

To Clark and Tisa Houck for a whole lifetime of encouragement and support. To Stella Duffy, Becky Beahm, Laura Helton, Chris Lueck, and Andrea Maddox. To the initial readers: Amanda Baltazar, Manuel Muñoz, Alessandra Nichols, and especially John Summerour for his early and invaluable criticism.

To: Peter Senftleben, Jim McCarthy, Alexander Chee, Richard Labonte, Emanuel Xavier, James Lear, and Charlie Vázquez.

And to Kip Rathke, Mario Roman, Foster Corbin, Chris Cochrane, Witold Fitz-Simon, Sean Frankino, Cory Davis, and Sean Quinn.
