This novel is a work of fiction. In some cases true life figures appear but their actions and conversations are entirely fictitious. All other characters, and all names of places and descriptions of events, are the products of the author’s imagination and any resemblance to actual persons or places is entirely coincidental.
The translator wishes to acknowledge the good counsel of Antonin Baudry, Paul Elie, Stephen Andrew Hiltner, Violaine Huisman, Mark Lilla, John McGhee, Marco Roth, Sadie Stein, John Jeremiah Sullivan and especially his editor, Mitzi Angel. Any errors remaining are his own.
