Ruth Ozeki
Ruth Ozeki, author of "My Year of Meats" and "All Over Creation" talked at Mary Washington. I looove "My Year of Meats," it's one of my favorite books ever and Ruth Ozeki was fabulous, friendly, and personable. She signed my book (yay!) and when I told her that I was an aspiring writer, she said to me with a smile "call me when you get published" and she gave me some advice on writing. *sigh* such an inspiration.

Shit! I can't believe I missed out on that. You met Ozeki! That's great, Kelly. Was it a book reading or what? Has she written since My Year of Meats?
Wow, hey Kenny - I didn't know you read my journal ;)
Yeah, it was amazing! She read from My Year of Meats for about half an hour and then took questions for an hour. Being able to hear her read her own work was fabulous - added a whole other something to the text, as you would expect. She actually has a new book out, called All Over Creation. I managed to buy an autographed copy of that the next day, but I haven't read it yet. The central food focus appears to be Idaho potatoes. I look forward to reading it :)
