Acquired Taste is presenting Six Impossible Things for Breakfast this Thursday (at Classic Lines), “a celebration of the weird, mythic, and magical side of food” featuring readings by Claire Burgess, Jennifer Bannan, and Daniel M. Shapiro. In anticipation, they’ve been interviewing their featured readers about strange meals, personality cocktails, and motivation.
[bctt tweet=”I’m going to @AcqTastePgh’s Six Impossible Things for Breakfast”]“Why do you write about food?
I’m interested in consuming as a concept. I’m fascinated by the way, for example, people in this culture are more often referred to as consumers than as citizens. Food is an easy, direct route to thinking about consuming. Or over-consuming, as in the case of the story I’ll be reading. And food is chock full of sensory power, which all writers want to include in their work.”
Next week! Three smart readers (get to know them here: http://acquiredtastepgh.com/blog/) and a weird and wonderful time. This one's not to be missed.
