Real Women Eat Beef….

Ok, not completely true but “Real Women Eat Beef” is the title of a book written by Four Stories guest Tracy McArdle.  Ms. McArdle and three other writers come together October 5th to read essays and short stories about food and more.  Erica Ferencik, Ru Freeman, and Amy Yelin will read selections unified under this month’s theme: “Conspicuous Consumption: Stories of Eating, Shopping, Spending, Taking!”

Four Stories, one of my favorite monthly events in Boston, is an evening where four readings are shared over two hours, complete with drinks and discussion.  Held at The Enormous Room in Cambridge’s Central Square, the evening is packed with exceptional talent and even more exceptional post-reading discussion.

Founded by Tracy Slater, Four Stories’ goal is to bridge Boston’s nightlife and literary scene in one evening.   All events are free and open to the public.

Sure to be some spicy, salty, sweet, and sour rolled into this month’s mix.
