This Week in Lit: Nothing Says Spring Like Decapitation and Punk Rock Zines...
There is just too much to choose from this week—and because I don’t want my head to explode, I’m piling on the listings for Seattle’s literary events. You lucky folks get to choose from ex-boyfriends and headless bodies, to Spring reading and boozing, to “homemade” (and pizza-filled) lives. Let the good times, vivacious speakers, and full bars roll.
Now More Than Just Pizza: The Pantry at Delancey
The news spread like wildfire throughout Twitter this week when Seattle Magazine reported that The Pantry at Delancey is slated to open this spring.
Brandon and Molly: Crossing Delancey
He's Brandon Pettit, musician from New York. She's Molly Wizenberg, the voice of Orangette. Their romance is chronicled in Molly's book, A Homemade Life (a title that makes you think it's going to be about an old lady's patterns for quilts, while it's actually two interwoven stories about Molly's dad and Molly's boyfriend). Anyway, Brandon--a composer and lecturer who studied in France (as did Molly)--moved to Seattle and, wouldn't you know it, decided that his calling life was (wait for it) pizza.
Orangette Named Top Food Blog by London Times
The (zippy) online version of the (staid) Times has discovered blogs. That would be the Times of London, you understand. Upstarts like the New York Times and the Seattle Times have to state their identity every time; no such need for the Times. But we digress. Lynne Robinson, writing a survey of food blogs for TimesOnline, lists no fewer than 50 of "the world's best," starting with Seattle's own Orangette. Comes at a good time for Orangette's Molly Wizenberg: her book, A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table, hits the shelves early next month. The TimesOnline piece is heavily weighted in favor of recipe-driven blogs, but even if you don't cook, Orangette's a great read. Good on ya, Molly!
