Hey Matthew Derby!
When I read Super Flat Times I felt like I was reading a better version of myself. It was utterly amazing. It’s one of my all time favorite books and I’m lending it like careful wildfire. I’ve recently started a small press in Montreal, and we’ve got a submission callout that takes some inspiration from your work. The Future Hygienic chronicles fake histories, made-up inventions, and fallacies of every degree. The Sound Gun, Meat Tower, and The Father Helmet are all amazing examples of the kind of work we’re hunting. We would be so honoured to have you submit. Please take a look at http://www.pistolpress.com – maybe a little excerpt from that future novel (with a little Fela Kuti in it)
Thanks so much, please don’t ever stop.

Thank YOU, JpKing. Thank YOU. You responded to a post that I did not even write. That, along with your heartfelt comment, means more to me than watching a mother in a velour track suit flip off a chain gang as she speeds past them on the highway.
