Acknowledgments
I am grateful to everyone who helped us with this book. I want especially to single out our agent and dear friend Dorothy Harman, who, in a conversation with my wife, Lucy, first suggested I write my memoirs. Without her energy this book would never have been written. Jonathan Galassi, the president and publisher of FSG, believed in the project before a word was written. Paul Elie, our superb editor, helped craft it; and Cara Spitalewitz and Kevin Doughten, Paul’s assistants, worked tirelessly to make it what it is. I would also like to thank the people at the Radcliffe Institute’s Fellowship Program, who provided the physical and intellectual space for this book to germinate. In Jerusalem I am grateful to Adel Ruished. Adel took Anthony under his wing and drove him around the West Bank to meet many of my colleagues.
