Acknowledgments
26th October 11
“My late beloved wife, Shirley Jackson, winnowed out books for me, discussed each book with me before I reviewed it, corrected each review as I wrote it, and proofread each galley. She is largely responsible for any virtue or felicity these essays may have, and they are necessarily and lovingly dedicated to her memory.”
- from Stanley Edgar Hyman’s acknowledgments to his 1966 collection of essays Standards: A Chronicle of Books for Our Time
