You are succeeding in turning “Writing fit for the internet” into a badge of honour. I’m only sorry I only discovered the Hinternet a few months ago — thanks actually to a recommendation from KLT. The Bun was the most interesting thing I’ve ever read online, and it was quite annoying to see so many commentators not quite ‘get it’ — but rest assured, many of us do and we love it!

The Hinternet isn’t a bad place to be a “local” - it sure beats Iowa City or underlit seminar rooms in New York. Thanks for the kind words!

“pretend to be someone’s apprentice somewhere in fucking Iowa.” Hahahahah. This was basically my calculation as well when I graduated and had to decide if I wanted to go to grad school/MFA or just hang out in Europe for as long as I could until they kicked me out. Easy choice!
