Monday, June 8, 2015. Many thanks to Wellington writer Tim Jones for generously reviewing. Cooked Up; Food Fiction from around the World. Tim is an acclaimed writer of short fiction, as well as poetry, so I am thrilled he enjoyed the stories in Cooked Up and especially honoured he included my "Food Bank" among his favourites from the collection along with Krys Lee's "Fat", Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's "Mrs Dutta Writes A Letter", and Elaine Chiew's "Run of the Molars". Labels: Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.

And, at the conclusion of The Goldfinch. 26 October 2014 at 09:49. 26 October 2014 at 10:28.
