The authors of From Pantyhose to Spandex: Writers on the Job Redux take you on a tour through a single night in a taxi in Copenhagen while listening to Mahler¿s Ninth, through the ¿Melancholy House¿ of a maximum-security prison and assigning juveniledelinquents as their sentence to do the sentences of an essay, through a woman¿s decision to sell her eggs for five thousand dollars, through why the legendary jewelry store is called ¿Tiffany¿ rather than ¿Tiffany¿s,¿ and on to a beach where forty-eightthousand pounds of lobster wait to be packed, moonlighting (a teacher¿s necessity), the sleepless nights of a veterinary assistant, working as a babysitter/envelope, stuffer/carhop/Christmas ballsaleswoman/gas-pumpattendant/and so much more, a day job as a bookseller, a translator, and even more ways of putting food on the table to feed the muses.
