Eating Authors: One Hundred Writers' Most Memorable Meals

Since 2011, Lawrence M. Schoen has featured hundreds of science fiction and fantasy writers on a weekly blog, asking each of them a single question:

What's your most memorable meal?

Their answers have provided readers with glimpses into the lives and minds of the authors and insights into their books.

To commemorate ten years of these essays, Schoen has compiled 100 of the best meals for this book, producing a feast of incredible locations and events, unusual circumstances, delicious surprises, unlikely meal companions, and improbable selections. Bring a hearty appetite, it's a very full menu!
