SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, Guest Post: “What’s Corn Got to Do with It: How Food Can Define a Novel’s Worldview”
Mystery Fanfare with Janet Randoph at http://bit.ly/2jnJ9Z9
“Why corn? You might ask. Why not, say, chocolate? While chocolate has an honored place across the globe, corn is more of a staple. In many cultures corn or maize is also associated with life, fertility, and rebirth and, in a novel that emphasizes the importance of caring community in the face of growing self-interest, competition, and greed (oink, oink!), the recurring presence of corn serves to emphasize human connection.”
FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, Guest Post: “The Story Behind Oink. A Food for Thought Mystery”
With Hannah Mackinnon at http://bit.ly/2irjsb7
“Traditional mysteries characteristically involve a small community (the university is such a community). They often feature a quirky sleuth, which, in my case, turned out to be a heightened version of myself—me and my quirks on steroids. They tend to supply humor, of which I gave a generous dose, and some involve food and come with recipes. Each of these can charm and thereby sustain interest, especially the humor and, in Oink’s case, the pigs.”
