A short note about Letters In The Mail

By

We sent this week’s Letter In The Mail pre-sorted, which takes longer than a normal stamp. Your letter, featuring an amazing cartoon by Dean Haspeil, should arrive on Friday or early next week. For people who subscribed late, or were lost in the transition from block addresses to CSV (never mind) I had to hand stuff and stamp the envelopes, which I mailed yesterday. The upshot is 100 subscribers will receive the letter about a week earlier than the rest of the subscribers.

Anyway, we’re excited about Dean’s letter. It’s our first cartoon letter. And it’s good.

Our next letter is from Lorelei Lee. Lorelei is an adult film star, a writer, and lecturer at NYU. She is also the co-writer of my movie Cherry, which is premiering in a little over a week in Berlin (come say hi). Her letter was written by hand and is fifteen pages long. You need to subscribe this week in order to receive Lorelei’s letter. There’s a preview of Lorelei’s letter in the NYTimes ArtBeat.

Coming soon we have Dave Eggers, Emily Gould, Matthew Zapruder, and others.
