They turned me down, but in a way that I can use for other publishers.

hi hi,

sorry for the delay--i read this with a lot of enjoyment, and i knew from your description it wasn't going to be a fugue state press kind of thing, but wanted to have the fun of reading anyway once i saw that you write well and know what you're doing. it was a pleasure, and i think you have a really good book here--i just have to say no because what we're doing is more akin to some kind of dense poetry, where sentence-by-sentence the language is sort of uncommon and exalted, and rather difficult, whereas you are really storytelling in a transparent style that reads easily and zooms like the wind. it's just not who we are, but i wish you luck with this and hope you find the right place for it--sorry not to be able to help!
