My New Book Is Out! I Am A Very Productive Entrepreneur from Mud Luscious Press




My second book, I Am A Very Productive Entrepreneur, is available now from Mud Luscious Press.

You can, if you want, order it here: http://mudlusciouspress.com/books/svalina/i-am-a-very-productive-entrepreneur/.


The book is a series of absurdist business plans. And it's a novel(la).


You can read excerpts from the book here, & here.





Here's what some people said about the book:


In this joyful critique of a Randian, post-industrial society, Mathias Svalina comments on both the compulsive desire to make the inconsumable & the often intangible recalcitrance of our attempts to create something useful in a world increasingly characterized by a manufactured sense of lack, anomie & disaffection, where we are daily beset by ‘a kind of numbness, a shadow of desire or fear offset against a blank world.’ Svalina refuses this numbness & offers something else, something completely stunning, in its place.
Gabriel Gudding



This is a subversive & necessary book: the quixotic entrepreneurial spirit of individualist American capitalism is revealed as an inherently poetic construct, one that rests on theater, liminality, imaginative drive, contradiction, & failure. I AM A VERY PRODUCTIVE ENTREPRENEUR is poignant & brilliant; it’s worth the investment.
Christian Hawkey








If you buy this book & you don't like it I will give you one gram of my blood.

I have ordered this book.

It is beautiful to order that which contains disorder. To disorder that which contains order. Order being merely the hors d'oeuvre of disorder, and vice versa. The ardor of our order utters martyr to disorder's bartered girder. A border murder made madder by disorder's odder, guttered ladder, up which martyrs climb.

I am not a very successful entrepreneur myself, and yet I am moved by the tragedy of it all. The gentle ambience. The children flying kites. The furling smoke.
