Miming the protocol of business form letters, the letters request their recipient
to perform absurd, erotic, and illicit behavior in order to transform
the letter into something else. As I see it, the recipients' correspondence signals
their readiness to play, to accept their role in the transubstantiation
of
the letter, to believe in the metaphysical force of the delicate printed
word, their complicity in extending a joke.
