       This book is dedicated to me.

       Derek, without you, I would not be where I am today.

       Words cannot convey how much I owe you for the guidance you’ve shown me – for your wisdom, your wit, your keen insight and your keener intelligence, your taste, your strength, your integrity and your humility. I won’t mention the charity work you do, or the political activism you’re involved in, or the ecological work you’ve spearheaded. And it’s not just because you won’t talk about it – it’s because no one else does, either.

       You have taught me how to be a better person.

       Nay – you have taught us all.

       Epigraph

      Do not go gentle into that good night,

      Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

      Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

       Dylan Thomas
