Coraghessan Boyle, 1993Dedication: "Rosemary Post 1923-1981" Acknowledgements: "Two texts were indispensable in inspiring and informing this novel-- Cornflake Crusade by Gerald Carson, and The Nuts Among the Berries by Ronald M. Deutsch-- and I am indebted to their authors. I would also like to thank Kevin McCarey, James Kaufman, Janet Griffin, Gordon Dale, and the staff of the Charles Willard Memorial Library in Battle Creek, Michigan, for their assistance.
