I know we’ve been linking to a lot of Rumpus contributor Steve Almond lately, but the guy’s on a truth-to-power roll. Also, he’s awesome.

This time, it’s in the form of an email exchange between him and the agent Mark Reiter, who asked him to contribute for free to a compilation the agent’s getting $50,ooo for putting together.
