Jennifer Toth - The Mole People

Bill Adler, Mark Lewyn, and Dean Silvers were fantastic in believing in me and this book before I was ready to. Mark, in particular, pushed me into action. I was also extremely lucky to have Amy Teschner at Chicago Review Press edit the book, not only because of her great talent, but because she sincerely cares about the people of the underground.

I can’t thank Chris Pape, Roger Smith, Bernard Isaacs, and all the others in this book enough for sharing their underground with me, not just for this book but also for enriching my life.

I’m especially thankful to my father for reading, rereading, getting angry, and setting a brilliant example.
