Interesting to hear your thought process around what went into the manuscript as more work kept coming, Reuben.

Love that you balance irony and earnestness; it helps get closer look to the truth, and it’s something I’m trying to balance in my own writing.

I also love the idea of canon-clashing, especially between classical and pop. Myths hold weight because they are still easily noticed and representative in our modern political and idolatry culture.

Looking forward to receiving my copy of Dear Dear!
