Jeff also tantalises readers by revealing: It’s in an A-Z format, all-originals, but will also include some surprises—like an invisible letter, a 27th letter, and a secret appearance by a Special Guest. Heh. We should have several more to announce shortly, including from Leena Krohn, Reza Negarestani, Cat Valente, Micaela Morrissette, and Rochita Loenin-Ruiz.
The whole project is so exciting, I may even dance a jig to weird birdman’s ear-nose-flute music!
