The World Was My Oyster but I Didn't Know How to Cook

Longtime journalist and award-winning writer Christy Potter has compiled some of her recent work into "The World is My Oyster But I Didn't Know How to Cook." Recipient of the Princeton Literary Review's Gold Standard for Literary Excellence, it includes humorous and thought-provoking essays on New York (where she lives), Kansas (where she's from), childhood, books, infertility, good days, bad days, and life in general, as well as interviews she's done with well-known writers like Janet Evanovich and Lois Lowry. There are also a couple of short stories tossed in, just for a little variety. Fans of Elizabeth Gilbert and David Sedaris will love the fresh, new voice of Christy Potter.
