In print, the unnamed freelance food writer of Nancy Spiller’s sardonic debut novel, Entertaining Disasters, lives high on the food chain in the heady realm of L.A.’s culinary journalism scene. But in reality, she's been inventing the dinner parties she writes about because social paralysis sets in at the very thought of a real guest in her hillside home. Enter the glossy food magazine editor, new in town, who wants an invitation to one of her bashes, and the panic-stricken journey from fantasy hostess to reality bites is on.

HEROINE'S FOODIE OBSESSIONS FUEL AUTHOR'S EMPATHY
Revisado: 08-12-20
I read and enjoyed Entertaining Disasters in print and I liked it even more as an audiobook experience over a few longish drives. The author's reading gave the story an even more immediate movie-in-my-mind feeling. She comes across like your funny, mordant friend-- pointed and self-deprecating. The story is about a food and entertaining writer who puts her own personality into her recipe articles. But it turns out it's her fantasy personality she puts into the articles-- so complications ensue over the next several weeks. If you've ever spent a few hours in the kitchen cooking, you'll recognize the narrator's inner voice as even different ingredients in her spice cabinet remind her of people and places. If you've ever entertained, you'll understand how the thread of planning and worry runs through her daily life and sparks memories of childhood and family. It's actually quite suspenseful.
