Congrats, Mason! You’re the first substack I subscribed to, after stumbling across your books and loving the surprising sense of community and connection they offered. This newsletter is a wonderful extension of that. I look forward to getting them every time. Thanks for creating something lovely in this crazy world!

The rest of our books fade away with barely a whimper.
