ERIC VAN LUSTBADER FIRST DAUGHTER

A CKNOWLEDGMENTS

From the very first day I started writing fiction, I've been influenced by many sources, but none as telling or important as Colin Wilson's brilliant book The Outsider.

As an Outsider myself, I never really understood who I was or how I fit in (or didn't!) until I read The Outsider.

For this, and especially for all the help and inspiration his body of work provided while mapping and unraveling some of the characters in First Daughter, a heartfelt thank-you to Colin Wilson.
