Acknowledgments

Special thanks must go to many who contributed in one way or another to this fable: Sharon

and especially Jack Erwin; Bill and Louise Winter, who gave August his vitiligo, among other

things; Grandma Kaiser, who stitched Jonah's rabbit suit, and Jonah's parents, Peter and Judy

Steinhart; my friend Tom Hecker; Diane and Michael Flaherty; Buff Bradley, the Zen Baptist,

and Susan; Michael Murphy, who loaned me Reich; Patti Harris, who made the shirts; and Doc

Burgert, who has the ripest laugh west of Chicago ...
