Oh, I *do* hope this gets back to the people who will be booking tables at all the popular and chic restaurants on Martha's Vineyard this summer.

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.”
