Famous Last Meals

Read Famous Last Meals Storyline:

Famous Last Meals is a trio of contemporary novellas about the roles we play in an inauthentic age when everyone is an actor. The curtain opens on "Candidates," a gentle satire starring a recent university grad who knows and cares little about politics but who finds himself working as a summer intern on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. "Famous Last Meals" examines two couples and their complex relationship as they re-enact the final repasts of famous people who died before the age of 30. "The Woman in the Vineyard" completes the triptych with a compulsive story about literary jealousy and the danger of becoming lost in the labyrinth of another writer's sources.
