Acknowledgments

I would like to thank: Mark Magowan, for giving me the opportunity to do this book; Leslie Stoker and Constance Herndon, for taking it on at Stewart, Tabori & Chang; my editor, Gail Monaghan, for her insistence on my writing a whole new book and for seeing it tirelessly all the way through the process; Donald Sultan, for understanding from the beginning how perfect his paintings are for the book; Jim Villas and Alex Birnbaum, for holding my hand every Tuesday night throughout the writing of the book; and, of course, my fearless agent and friend at IMG, Lisa Queen, without whom this book would never have seen the light of day or been as good.
