dear Dana,
I hope you are holding it together. Germany, as you probably know, is a cesspit. I have found some company in other abolitionist anti-zionist jews, but the cognitive dissonance in the general population (whither the German left wing?) is killing me.
I am reaching out to you on another topic, however, which is to give you a brief update about The Employee, and to make a specific request.
Lauren and I are nearing the publication's completion! It has been a long haul, but a rewarding one, with a well-rounded collection of essays now in hand. We have submitted a proof to the designers, and are waiting for their mockup.
I am writing to you now however, regarding a second component of the project, which is an online archive comprising all of the email correspondence connected to the artwork and publication.
I am writing to ask if you are comfortable with our email correspondence being reproduced within this framework. So far as I can remember, our communication was entirely professional, but I would be happy to send you a pdf of our emails if you wish. If you have concerns, are hesitant, or want clarification, just say so, and I will tell you more about why and how this material will be used. I will be redacting your email address and any other personal contact information (I don't think anything else came up). I can also redact anything else you want to remain unviewable.
thanks again for your contribution, and you will hear from Lauren and I soon with updates as the publication nears completion.
warmly,
Josh
