Acknowledgments Over the course of this project’s development, I have benefited from the conversation, advice, and support of many colleagues and friends. I would particularly like to thank Eduardo Cadava, Brad Evans, Scott Herring, Myra Jehlen, Walter Johnston, Jack Kerkering, Walter Benn Michaels, Steve Rachman, Guy Reynolds, Eric Santner, Leif Sorensen, Michael Warner, and Glenn Wilmott, each of whom in their own ways contributed to the substance and form of this book. I would especially like to thank Marc Manganaro, who has helped me work out these ideas since their inception, and who has been a mentor and friend at every stage of my academic career. I would also like to thank Steve Esquith, Anita Skeen, David Sheridan, and my colleagues in the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities at Michigan State University for making possible the vibrant, creative intellectual community where my passion for teaching and research could be brought together, and this book brought to fruition. Thanks also to Lauren Hall and Linda Benson for their help editing the manuscript.

I couldn’t have done this without my family. Thank you to my father and mother, Jan and Marika Wallach, who always encouraged me to follow my interests; and to Mike and Rita Aronoff for being both family and great friends. My children, Maya and Aidan, have grown along with this book; thank you, guys, for all your patience, and the joy you have brought to my life. (Yes, daddy’s done with the book!) And most of all, to Yael, my soul mate: you make everything else possible; you make life more joyous, fulfilling, and fun than I ever imagined it could be.
