Acknowledgements
I would like to thank Michael Boyd, whose classes first got me thinking in this direction, and Bruce Jackson, Joseph Conte and Dimitri Anastasopoulos, along with all my friends at the University at Buffalo, for their help in shaping this work. I would also like to thank my generous and supportive colleagues at Suffolk University, who helped me figure out how to see this project through, especially Quentin Miller and Bryan Trabold. I would like to thank my friend Allie, for letting me bounce ideas off of her (even when I couldn’t use her suggestions), my parents and, finally, I would like to thank Arielle, who had to live with this book as she lived with me. I could not have done it without her support (and, occasionally, tolerance). A portion of “Shifting Attitudes Towards the Verisimilitude of Narrative in Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Literature” and “The Quality of Qualia: Truth and Ethics in Reflexive Double Narratives” appeared in Poetics Today, volume 38, issue 3, and is republished with permission of the Publisher, Duke University Press.
