Yeah. I heard back from the Russian hotel novelist and the novel about the trees guy. Both dryly amusing. Sometimes you have to look a minute to find their emails. But they all like a polite note of appreciation.

Also I emailed a young poet who in my opinion Has It and she sent a sentence lid note back.

It takes a while for it to be processed once it gets to the prison. He has no way of knowing if you wrote him a week ago or 6 months ago. That's what he told me anyway.

He also sent me a prison schedule for that month. I was wondering wtf it was for, but he said he put it in there around his letter so people can't read what he wrote through the envelope when holding it up to a light.

dug up the email:

Hi [redacted],

I am the father of a four year old girl who absolutely loves your book, "[redacted]." She has insisted that I read it to her every night for the past few weeks. I like it too. It's a lot of fun.

I don't mean to be a pest, but I have 2 questions:

1) Unicorn Flight: when the unicorn first arrives (just before we learn about the shedding, chewing and burping), the child is depicted atop the unicorn and they appear to be flying with a trailing rainbow. Last night my daughter corrected me and said "no daddy, it's just jumping really far. See it doesn't have wings." I guess I just took for granted that unicorns are magical and can fly. Is she right? Is the unicorn just jumping in this illustration?

2) Unicorn feces: in the section about house training, the unicorn leaves a pile of cupcakes on the floor which I believe can fairly be inferred to be feces. I noticed that there are flies buzzing around the pile suggesting that despite their appearance, the cupcakes are still foul smelling. However, the child is holding one near his mouth ready to take a bite. Is the child in for a terrible surprise or do the cupcakes smell and taste like cupcakes? If so, is the lack of house training really even an issue?

Any response would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Regards,

[redacted]

Hi. A question for you. In episode 2F09 when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

I once tweeted at an author whose book I read giving him my thoughts on his non-fiction work. He appreciated the feedback and we had a little discussion about his book. I agree with the OP, most authors like when people contact them as long as it is in a polite respectful manner (no crazy stalkers).
