This project began as a reading series organized by [Kate] Lebo and [Sam] Ligon, in which they sent 12 writers a pie and whiskey prompt to inspire new work. Six years later, they have created an anthology that's just as eclectic, drunk and delicious.<br><b><i>--The New York Times</i></b> <p/>In vino, veritas; in whiskey, wit; in pie pleasure. With that Latin-inspired preamble, we are called west to an all-American literary event held annually in Spokane and Missoula named Pie & Whiskey. And yes, pie and whiskey are served while seriously talented writers read their new works loosely based on, yes again, pie and whiskey.<br><b><i>--Foreword Reviews</i></b> <p/>Wonderful relatable storytelling, executed brilliantly.<br><i>--<b>San Francisco Book Review</b></i> <p/>This book is small enough to fit in somebody's Christmas stocking, and it also contains a lot of swearing. Of course, those are both selling points for the right person.<br><i>--</i><b>Wired.com</b> <p/> "[Part of] the 2017 author lineup for Wordstock."<br><i><b>--Artlandia</b></i> <p/> "the best of the booze- and sugar-fueled essays, poetry and fiction and nonfiction stories."<br><i>--</i><b><i>The Inlander</i></b> <p/> "[<i>Pie & Whiskey</i>] is a breezy, sharp slice of largely Northwest writers like Christopher Howell, Elizabeth J. Colen, and Laura Read--one that examines Americana, domestic bliss (and strife), and debauchery."<br><i><b>--Seattle Met Magazine</b></i> <p/> "A ridiculously good time."<br><i><b>--Missoula Independent <p/></b></i>ever-popular<br><b>--Missoulian</b> <p/> "This book brings writers together with food and booze and lets the words flow as freely as the drink."<br>--<b>Seattle Refined <p/></b>The anthology features an all-star cast of the best of the Northwest and beyond -- Jess Walter, Kim Barnes, Steve Almond -- and runs the range of profane to profound, and both. Just my style.<br><i><b>--The Register-Guard </b></i> <p/>I have no memory of eating pie and drinking whiskey at the same time. But the idea of pie and then whiskey appeals, or whiskey and then pie and <i>then</i> whiskey again, especially if those pies are made by Lebo, the best pie-maker there is.<br><i>--The Stranger</i> <p/><i>...'pie and whiskey' falls right into the Goldilocks zone of themes.</i><br><b><i>--</i>Seattle Review of Books</b>
