Amy asked Will Schwalbe:

I recognized the description of Chris Maxey in the short review in "The New Yorker" of WE SHOULD NOT BE FRIENDS. Your memoir is about Maxey who started Island School? I look forward to reading your memoir, as my son was there in Fall 2007 when Eleuthera took an almost direct hit from Hurricane Noel. The students had so much respect for (combined with a bit of fear of) Maxey. Island School was life-changing for Seth.

Will Schwalbe How great that your son was at The Island School way back in 2007! It's a remarkable place. I've heard from so many people about how it changed their lives. I'm excited to hear what you and Seth think about the portrait of Maxey. I feel so, so lucky to have him as a friend.
