1: taking away from others

About this episode

Andrew Lipstein discusses the parallels between parenthood and writing a book, emphasizing the uncertainty of both experiences.

"Before you have a kid. I feel like you're sort of going up a roller coaster and you've never been on a roller coaster before and you just like you feel that you're inching towards the top and you just don't know what to expect. And that's kind of like writing a book. I mean, I feel like you shouldn't know what's coming when you enter in a book." - Andrew Lipstein, author of THE VEGAN. Show artwork by Allison Conway.
