Dutton

Dutton is one of the publishing organizations acknowledged at the end of the novel. Its mention places it among the professional collaborators thanked for their work on the book, rather than within the novel’s fictional world.

Acknowledgment

In the acknowledgments, the author expresses gratitude to Carole Baron, Mitch Hoffman, Lisa Johnson, and others at Dutton and Penguin Group USA. The wording associates Dutton with the team being thanked but does not specify individual roles or particular contributions.

Publication Context

Dutton appears in a brief list of publishing collaborators, alongside Penguin Group USA and a separate acknowledgment to colleagues at Orion Publishing Group. The text offers no further account of Dutton’s history, structure, or involvement in the novel’s production.
