The Somebodies (19 page)

T
HE ELUSIVE AND CHARMING
N. E. Bode
doesn’t really want a biographical note detailing the successes of his last books,
THE ANYBODIES
and
THE NOBODIES
—afraid that it might lead certain unnamed people to his location, with disastrous results. Instead N. E. Bode wants to mention the books of Julianna Baggott, trusted friend, who has written novels for grown-ups:
GIRL TALK, THE MISS AMERICA FAMILY
, and
THE MADAM
, as well as a book of poems,
THIS COUNTRY OF MOTHERS
.
