Book Reviews of Selected Shorts: Food Fictions (Selected Shorts: A Celebration of the Short Story)
Book Review: Mouth-Watering
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the three CDs in this package-- well, I loved the first and third, and thought the second was just OK. The MFK Fisher story about an overzealous waitress at a small country restaurant in France was terrific, and the Damon Runyon story about an eating contest was also outstanding.
Neil Plakcy, author of Mahu Surfer: A Hawaiian Mystery (An Alyson Mystery)
