Schmacko’s comments from the Q&A with Adam Haslett group.

Thanks for your answers; these makes so much sense now. Also, thanks for answering my YANASH question, because it's a book I've read four times; I am fixated, I guess.

When I searched online, I found a partial answer to my question. Can you tell us a little more about why you picked Cotton Mather and Malcolm X as the voices of the dogs? I was specifically curious, because these two historical figures seem only distantly related to America's financial structure.

Also, I love You Are Not a Stranger Here. If you get a chance to put up a section on that, I'd love to hear about how you chose certain characters' behavioral conditions, specifically in the first story and in "...Grief." (The latter story I've had several friends read; I think it's a fantastic short story."
