Fresh off the success of Flash Nonfiction Funny comes a piping-hot
new take on the flash genre: Food. Working within a 750-word limit,
each of these nonfiction pieces is driven by a hunger for something
filling. Memories of an ill-fated birthday cake, contemplations on
a family recipe, an embarrassing sauce spill on a first date —
all of it true, all of it tasty. Featuring both established and
up-and-coming writers, this collection is perfect for students of
writing and brevity — and for anybody who appreciates good
food!?Featuring essays by Dinty W. Moore, Kim Addonizio, Sarah
Wesley Lemire, Stephen Goff, Mark Lewandowski, Alison Townsend,
Jesse Waters, Elizabeth Danek, Jonathan Ammons, Leeanna Torres,
Eric D. Lehman, Sari Fordham, Renee Cohen, Brian Phillip Whalen,
Rebecca Beardsall, Pamela Felcher, Lisa Romeo, Amy Barnes, and many
more!
