What is this place?
Welcome, Fam!
You’ve reached Field Research, author Amran Gowani’s email newsletter, which features informative and entertaining takes at the intersection of art, business, and culture.
WTF is an Amran Gowani?
Me!
I’m a mad scientist turned corporate mercenary turned totally well-adjusted author. My debut novel Leverage — a propulsive, darkly hilarious Wall Street thriller — will be published by Simon & Schuster on August 19, 2025.
Good for you, but what’s in this for me?
Good question.
With my unique background spanning Academia, Corporate America, and Wall Street, I’ll help you:
Decipher the worlds of business, economics, and finance
Decide which books, movies, podcasts, television shows, and video games are worth your precious time and attention
Impress your friends at cocktail parties and dunk on your enemies at HOA meetings
Stay sane in a world gone mad
Sounds interesting. Do I have to pay for this?
Nope.
Are you gonna ask me to pay for this?
Nope.
Okay, wow, I’m in then.
Excellent!
But, um, I feel like our relationship is a little one-sided, actually. Is there anything I can do to support you, a fellow human?
That’s very thoughtful.
Try these:
Pre-order my hella fun debut novel Leverage at: Amazon || Barnes & Noble || Books-A-Million || Bookshop.org || Target
Done. Anything else?
Sit back, relax, and brace for madness.
