My relationship with my readers is somewhat theatrical. One of the main things I try to do in my work is delight my readers.

I'm in that very preliminary stage of wondering how exactly to "pressurize" the novel in some way I've never considered before.

My work generally tends to be an all-out, 360-degree subversive take on everything, most of all my own notion of myself as a son, father, husband, human being and male in this culture.
