Читать книгу The Dead Place - Rebecca Drake - Страница 7

I’m indebted to Sandy Stephen and Meryl Neiman, who helped plot this novel, and to Amy Moore-Benson, who helped put it to bed. Special thanks to Mary Weidner, Jane Lucchino, and Shelley Blumenfeld, for helping me understand the world of visual artists, and to Nathaniel Drake, for helping me understand the world of musicians. Wickfield is a fictional town, but influenced by places I’ve lived or visited, including the charming college towns of Bloomington, Indiana, and Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. My own interpretation of the funeral industry was influenced by the writing of Jessica Mitford and Thomas Lynch. Special thanks to The Six; you know who you are! Finally, always and forever, thanks to Joe.
