> Luring people into answering (and implicitly asking) an “unasked existential ques-tion” by contacting them about your conceptual book? In some ways it soundslike you’re a meta-author using editors as writing tools; in other ways it soundslike you’re just lazily getting editors to write a book for you. Please take this asconfirmation that I will not be writing any material for your book. Hahaha the irony here is delicious.

Gilbert Sorrentino's Mulligan Stew leads off with rejection letters. One might question the authenticity, given some of the signatures, but they are entertaining.
