Edith Holler, page 34
All of this, and all of these various theatres (not forgetting also the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, where I was a ticket-tearer one summer), have inspired the novel Edith Holler. So I would like to thank a few of the people I met at those theatres: Robert Coover, Lisa Creagh, Robert Delamare, Pak Dollah, Anca Dragomir, Pauline Fan, John Flint, Eddin Khoo, Michael Ginesi, Gavin Glover, Steve Harris, Clive Hicks-Jenkins, Pepsicola Pete, Terry Taylor, Liz Walker, Neil Wallace, Hugh Whitemore, Ed Wilson and Claudia Woolgar.
Enormous thanks as always to my wonderful and long-suffering agent, Isobel Dixon. I have been fortunate to have as my editor the very brilliant Calvert Morgan, whose advice, given with such grace and humor and insight, is always what I most need. Huge thanks to everyone else at Riverhead, especially Bianca Flores, Nora Alice Demick, Glory Plata, Jynne Martin, and Geoffrey Kloske. And thanks most of all to Elizabeth, Gus, Matilda, and Margaret Cat, with whom I was so fortunate to pandemic.
