graffitoWell, that's done -- one of the three writing projects I hoped to complete during my January break is finished in draft. The project? A summing up of the themes of magical politics and class prejudice in the United States I've been discussing since early in 2016, and pretty much wrapped up last year. The challenge now is finding a publisher for the project. 

Since it's a book on US politics, I want to find an American publisher, and since it stands the acceptable tropes of contemporary politics on their heads and talks at length about some of the most strictly tabooed topics of our time -- for example, the role of class interests and class prejudice in the rise and fall of the privileged progressivism of the recent past, and the rise of the populist backlash that's shaping the present and future -- I need to find a publisher who can handle extreme political heresy. Oh, and the book also talks about magic, so it should be a publisher whose tolerance for heresy isn't limited to the political realm. 

Of course the usual issues also apply: it would be nice to find a publisher that has decent marketing and a reputation as a source for outsider viewpoints, etc. 

I've begun looking around for options, but it occurs to me that my readers are an impressively diverse and well-read bunch of people, the kind of readers who have books full of weird alternative views sitting on their shelves right now. If you do, and happen to have a spare moment, could you let me know who published the weirdest of those weird alternative views? Many thanks, and may shoggoths surrepititiously do your dishes for you.
