Dear J,

It's a bit too morose and urban for Green Acres, isn't it? But you could probably pull off Green Acres...as they say, write what you know.

If you are writing fiction you appear to be about the only one on the Oct. Earth doing so. So the format is a bit unclear. Most people are writing some immediate letter to the editor thing, some are scribbling theiup r usual hep-cat dylanesque lyrics or Maslow at the Esalen hot-tub thang....

I suspect only a very few readers are going to pick on your "literary masks". Whatevah. Is this an exercise in some sort of minimalist fiction? Best story under 250 words?

The argument is not weak--the writing on LK is weak. But who cares. You people are not there to create real dialogue, or to objectively review manuscripts: you're looking for hepcats, or to offer some freak like Judah a place to play with her puppets.

Jammy, jammy, you trollop, I'm through

V.
