From desserts and snacks to main dishes and comfort food, we will be featuring the tastiest morsels we can come up with.įor our first Tempting Tuesday post, we thought we'd feature one of the best American comfort foods, Homemade Macaroni and Cheese! We here at Author to Author want to embrace our love of food in literature and pass on some of our favorite recipes. Shirk actually includes her recipes for Donut Muffins which are raved about through the entire novel. In "Kissing Kendall" by Jennifer Shirk, Kendall is working on opening a bakery and perfecting all her sweet treats. Often, writers even include recipes from their books. These are fictionalized stories where food is practically a character itself. For those of us who don't want to pack on the pounds, we can now take a bite out of a new sub-genre, Food Lit. The emergence of a new form of literature has set out taste buds ablaze.

This is one of the ancient miseries associated with the genre, and for a game that specializes in efficiency, too much backtracking can really take the air out of the ball. Death's Door doesn't quite match the immaculate level-design guarded by the Nintendo braintrust, which meant that I spent a couple parts retreading through the corridors over and over again trying to track down the last key to unlock the next encounter or whatever. That sublimity is only disrupted by a few problem spots. Nobody has the privilege to die in a puff of smoke. Acid Nerve lays on the controller shake every time steel connects with flesh, and the cretins ragdoll to the ground like pro wrestlers. In fact, I was almost surprised by how violent Death's Door could be. It wouldn't have hurt if there were a few more flourishes on top of the standard roll-and-slash combat, but the system works. But attacks and evasions can be chained together fluidly, and none of my many restarts felt particularly cheap.

Alternately funny and moving, it is a wide-ranging tale in which character after character turns out not to be what he-or she-seems. Against a background of high adventure, this minuet of a novel dances from the farthest limits of the solar system to Earth’s own Outer Mongolia. our own Earth! High wit in this future comedy of manners allows Delany to question gender roles and sexual expectations at a level that, twenty years after it was written, still make it a coruscating portrait of “the happily reasonable man,” Bron Helstrom-an immigrant to the embattled world of Triton, whose troubles become more and more complex, till there is nothing left for him to do but become a woman. Delany’s 1976 SF novel, originally published as Triton, takes us on a tour of a utopian society at war with . . . In a story as exciting as any science fiction adventure written, Samuel R.

I think my favourite aspect of the book has got to be the characters and the way they each influence Kambili in a unique way. Until, that is, life throws Kambili and her brother into the life of their Aunty, the brilliant Ifeoma, and her spirited children. Her father is the sun around which her family revolves and having an identity of her own isn’t just something she isn’t allowed, it’s a concept that would never even have occurred to her.
