Books This Week in Constant Reader
Posted by Paul Constant on Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 2:37 PM
This week in Constant Reader, I wrote about the Iron Chef for authors at the Hugo House. The contestants were Pam Houston, Sherman Alexie, and T.M. McNally.
...the writers were given guidelines for their stories...The event was unofficially dubbed an Iron Chef for Writers. Alexie, who is quite possibly the most openly competitive writer on earth, announced that the ingredients were "too easy." Houston stood alone in a corner and kept staring at the piece of paper with the ingredients, as though her story was somehow already written there in very light pen strokes. McNally disappeared.
The person who I declared the winner is not who you'd expect.
