« Luscious scones | Main | The cookie phenomenon » Friday, October 13, 2006Joyce makes pies
Joyce Maynard, the author who is probably most famous for a young dalliance with mega-star author J.D. Salinger, has another claim to fame, according to my colleague who interviewed her. She makes pies. Maynard, who is reading from her latest book, "Internal Combustion: The Story of a Marriage and Murder in the Motor City" tomorrow in Plymouth and Sunday in Shrewsbury, bakes for friends, family, and colleagues. She even teaches classes in pie making and has pie parties. The crust is her favorite task. Come to think of it, making a pie crust is analogous to outlining a plot. It starts out with measured steps: Begin with chilled ingredients, blend the fats and the flour, and then add the liquid. And just when you think this will never work, voila!! you've got pie crust. (Of course, then you still have to roll it out, which can be a thrilling novel in itself). Posted by Alison Arnett at 05:39 PM
