Speaking of food, if you happen to be in Brooklyn on 11/1, I’ll be reading an essay about running-away food in children’s literature for the launch of Zosia Mamet’s Popsicles at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity at 6:45! Tickets are $11; the other readers are Katie Holmes and Rosie Perez. I can’t imagine anyone needing more inducement than that.
I love everything about this. I noticed all of the bacon-eating, but only in a jovial, British-sort of way. They do eat elaborate cream cakes from the place where Martha/Letty works. Cake and bacon doesn't sound awful.
Ooh, I hope you’ll share your essay! Russell Hoban’s Frances packs 6 “chocolate sandwich cookies” for her running away and that has always struck me as necessary, but probably not sufficient.
