Hello friends,

I wanted to share a quick update on the book's progress.

Almost fifty interviews and a huge amount of archival material is in the bag. 

Now, we move through the daunting, dizzying experience of sharing each chapter with its interviewees for fact-checking and reviewing. So far, nobody has responded by saying, 'This is like swimming through mud', or, 'HATE HATE TRIPLE HATE!'

Instead, I've been thankful for each person's thoughtful, constructive responses. It's been such a joy editing the book's first draft, after years writing it.

I can't wait to share everything with you in the near future.

Thank you for your patience. The finishing line is in view!

Hope you have a great summer.

Take care,

Lucas
