Taking a cue from Tillie Olsen's SILENCES and the works of Alain de Botton, THE HONORABLE OBSCURITY HANDBOOK is novelist M. Allen Cunningham's gloriously uncynical answer to a publishing world awash in cynical careerism and bottom-line thinking. Part consoling sourcebook, part cultural commentary, part wry self-help manual, and part inspirational anthology, this slim volume is packed with insights relevant to any creative worker, whatever their field.
