Episode 181: Amy Fish — Starting Late, Dealing with Rejections, and How to Get Someone to Clean Up After Their Dog

By Brendan O’Meara

Amy Fish is here to talk about her book I Wanted Fried With That (New World Library).

We talk about her approach to writing the book, revisiting old essays, dealing with the flood of rejections and the art of the crafty complaint.

We brought up her 100 rejections in a year manifesto, something she said at HippoCamp 2019, something she took from Lisa Romeo.

Amy talks about drawing inspiration from David Sedaris, Malcolm Gladwell, and the mystery genre.
