Aw I wish I had came across this book as a child! Thanks for the recommendation. I think the letters are a good twist - kinda like primary historical sources. I really shouldn't be writing a dry history/anthropology textbook.
I'm also figuring out a collage culture and I think it's incredibly fun to think what this hypothetical culture would do and develop in a fictional world. Love the variety of cultures you've got there!
