Don’t Be Too Sure dramatis personae

I’m well underway on revising Don’t Be Too Sure, which I finished a first draft of right before surgery. A lot of people make appearances in this book, most of all William James and John von Neumann, who became the two main characters despite not being in my original plans for the book at all. Some other people: Felix Hausdorff, Alfred Kroeber and his daughter Ursula Kroeber Le Guin, John Keats, Sheila Heti, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers, Jakob Bernoulli, Elbert Hubbard, Anna Kiesenhofer, Grace Hopper, Thomas Jefferson, Caroline Hoxby, David Hilbert, Michel Adanson… well, there are a lot of people in it, who do a lot of things.
