You're not "democratizing art", not so long as we live in this capitalist hellscape. I release all of my writing1 for free to read in the browser because not everyone can just up and buy a book or whatever, but that may very well change and it will, in every way, be your fault. I know it has no more legal weight than Culture Hustle's note to Anish Kapoor, but it has very similar intentions as a statement. I wish you every possible inconvenience. May all of your queues be long. May you lose your ID cards. May the screws of your glasses continually loosen. May you always have a rock in your shoe. May your cast-iron pans rust and your non-stick pans lose their coating.

At four novels, three short story anthologies, a memoir, a poetry anthology, and other stories besides, I assure you it's not an inconsiderable amount, because Maddy never shuts up.
