There was a certain distance from the tale that made you feel halfway disconnected from the psychological bedlam that would cause someone to take such an action, but Potrykus is not interested in affording anyone that buffer. Most of the time, this kind of story came to you secondhand from a friend who was talking about his cousin's college roommate, but by the time you heard it, it had of course taken on the timbre of recreational myth. A young, troubled man spurns society and goes to live in a small shack in the woods, where he takes up amateur alchemy in the hopes of being able to create gold for himself. If you grew up anywhere close to a heavily forested area, you've probably heard a story similar to the one that's told in Joel Potrykus' The Alchemist Cookbook.
