Small Beer doesn't want my book.
They have a couple of things to say about it -- stilted, too much infodump. I promise I'm not going to go into a defensive tailspin. I usually like the book, I usually think I got it about right. But. If somebody doesn't like it, then I wonder. I know there's taste. But. Oh, just, fooey.
I wonder if it's the dialog -- which is written in a Spanglish future slang, and the protagonist has trouble expressing himself? Or the narrative? If it's the first, well, I don't think there's anything to do about it. I worked really hard to get those people to sound just like that. Just. Fooey.
I don't know what to do next.
I'm going to Potlatch tomorrow, but now I don't want to. I want to stay home and cry.
