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.

Highly Recommend Entertaining Disasters,
Revisado: 08-23-20
Entertaining Disasters offers pleasurable culinary missives, both real and imagined, with each chapter ending in a mouth-watering recipe. But this is not a light-as-meringue romp. Interspersed with the food in the kitchen, is a story told in flashbacks about the narrator’s family growing up, especially her mother, college-educated housewife Lenore who suffered from hysteria, as mental issues were called back then. Searingly honest and unflinching, Entertaining Disasters has the depth, character and pathos that makes for a truly great work of fiction. Highly recommend!!
