This book covers a topic that I have seen a couple of times: When an artist gets popular, there is a difference between what they think is their best work, and what is the most popular work.
Billy Joel hates Piano Man, but still plays it because it’s incredibly popular. Anthony Burgess is only known for A Clockwork Orange, but he has other works he finds better than ACO. I really liked this insight
