Adam, nearly 20 years since the Amateur Gourmet. God that ages me :). So excited to read your novel. You've part of an amazing food tradition with Knopf. I'm plotzing!
That quote is actually from the Bhagavad Gita. Which is 2000 years old.
“You have the right to work, but for the work's sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work. Desire for the fruits of work must never be your motive in working.”
This was a fantastic post! I didn't bail on becoming a lawyer (though maybe I should have...) but I have also managed to become a songwriter late in life. These writing tips, as well as the story of your journey, are very helpful and inspiring! xo
Loved this. Congrats, Adam!! Can't wait to read Food Person. xo
