That Was Her Letter to the World

*From online crowdfunded shtick straight to print-on-demand. i wonder what would happen if this work of Ms Valente's was, like, the best book of the last ten years. I mean, what if some text produced by these means... sans editor, sans publisher, sans promoter, sans bookstore, sans pretty much anything but author and presumably some readers... turned out to be just insanely great?

*Would you even know? Maybe it would be like your situation if your next door neighbor had cocktail parties that were wittier than the Algonquin Round Table.

*Or maybe this is simply a fated return to the faan-tastic days of the Lovecraft Circle and Arkham House. "Before and after mass publishing."

*Saw it on Warren Ellis's blog because he seems persistently interested in such things.
