The Honorable Obscurity Handbook by M Allen Cunningham
Part consoling sourcebook, part cultural commentary, and part wry self-help manual, this gloriously un-cynical handbook provides advice for creatives struggling in a career world awash in bottom-line thinking. Readers will enjoy the comical aspects such as e-mails from the literary agent of Henry David Thoreau to the helpful tips like the 5-point productivity plan for writers. From humor pieces, to essays, to quotes, this inspirational anthology is packed with insights that will appeal to all creatives.
