Oh, thank you. Thank you to my wonderful editor of 16 years, Margaret Ferguson, my daughters, Emily and Rebecca, the people at Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Michael Eisenberg, Jean McDermott and always, always my husband, Arnie Keller, and the Judging Committee and the National Book Foundation. I'm really honored to receive this. Thank you.
