EP 14: Authors Shonna Humphrey and Tanya Whiton Join To Dish About 'Breaking Bread'

from Four Books a Fortnight · host Hannah Harlow and Sam Pfeifle

In a special two-guest episode, Hannah and Sam talk with Shonna and Tanya about the fantastic new "Breaking Bread" publication, a collection of essays by New England writers that benefits Blue Angel, an organization that provides fresh-farm food to hungry families across Maine and beyond. Unsuprisingly, there is a lot of talk about food writing - Shonna was once told she was "straight out of Rumford with the tastebuds of a sloth" - how much Sam hates food, and which essays just knock it out of the park. We especially love those that talk about the people behind the food, including works by Ron Currie, Lily King, Richard Ford, Jonathan Lethem, Phuc Tran, and Bill Roorbach. Also, Tanya explains what grapefruit ice is and Sam coins the term "angry knish" and Tanya and Shonna provide a couple book recommendations. Then things wrap up with a discussion of drugs in restaurants and Marlon James' "Black Leopard, Red Wolf," for no really good reason.
