Ich erhielt ein Stipendium von der Ford Foundation, um ein Buch für Kinder über die Wahrnehmung in Städten zu schreiben oder darüber, wie die Menschen Städte erleben, aber ich habe es immer wieder zurückgeschrieben. Stattdessen begann ich zu schreiben, was The Phantom Tollbooth wurde.

After writing 'The Omnivore's Dilemma,' I wanted to write a book that got past the choir, that got to people who didn't care about how their food was grown but who did care about their health.
