Detroit Style Pizza, the Ocean, & Contemporary Women's Fiction

Season 1, Episode 6: Detroit-Style Pizza, the Ocean, & Contemporary Women's FictionIn this week’s episode, I read a slice-of-life story about a woman who moved from the Midwest to Massachusetts, drawn by the ocean but missing the comfort of Detroit-style pizza. When she finally finds a pizzeria serving her favorite style, she’s faced with an unexpected disappointment—one that goes beyond just the food.Then, we dive into contemporary women’s fiction: what defines the genre, how it captures the complexities of everyday life, and why food and place are often so deeply tied to storytelling. I also talk about my personal connection to the Midwest and, of course, explain exactly what makes Detroit-style pizza so special.Want more fiction, folklore, and fiber arts in your life? →⁠ Visit my publications page to find my longer-form fiction.⁠ → ⁠Follow me on Instagram for behind-the-scenes content.⁠ → ⁠Sign up for my newsletter to get exclusive updates and stories straight to your inbox. ⁠ → ⁠Support me on ko-fi. ⁠
