Miller dedicates this book to Emil White, calling him "one of the few friends who has never failed me." In the Epilogue, Miller acknowledges him as his "secretary, chief butler, private body-guard and big shoo-fly" (pg. 394), who has nearly broken his back lugging wood and coal for him and has answered voluminous fan mail until, at Miller's instigation, he takes up painting and becomes engrossed.
