From Volunteering at a Zoo to Writing
In this chapter, the speaker reflects on their time working at a zoo and their lack of skills in damage control. They share a specific incident where they responded to a press rumor about a cheetah being sucked dry by ticks by engaging in a conversation about the logistics of it rather than denying it. The chapter also discusses the speaker's journey as a writer, starting with pitching a piece about the animal carvings in the Financial District of San Francisco and eventually writing their first book.
