I
am grateful to all the magical people, named and unnamed, who helped me by sharing their experiences and knowledge with me. Thanks particularly to Frank Takei for his good humor and clear explanations of philosophical matters. To Sharon Grigsby, who read some of the early chapters, and all my friends who listened to many strange stories with great patience, many thanks. To my family, who support me no matter how far-out the topics I write about are, I am always grateful. My wonderful agent, Jandy Nelson, was an unfailing support. Endless thanks to all the people at HarperSanFrancisco, who are talented, hardworking, and always a delight to deal with, especially Gideon Weil, my editor, who worked the best kinds of magic on the manuscript and on my aspirations for it. He made even the most impossible parts of the writing seem imminently doable.
