one summer day in quebec, georges et moi a la compagne. 

wwnorton:

The UPS man brought me my copy of Contents May Have Shifted tonight. I always forget what a heart-stopping moment that is, opening the package. Here is this gorgeous little rectangle (thank you for making such pretty pretty books W.W. Norton) and packed inside it is six years of work, countless hours, and countless hours put in by readers I trusted, and my wonderful editor Alane, and the copy editor and designers and proof readers. Thank you. Also packed in there are all my fears about getting it wrong, and a different set of fears about getting it right, and all the hope I sent it off to Alane with in that first version. How perfect that it arrived on the longest night of the year.
