Pie & Whiskey, the book, is a literary collection of readings presented over the past six years in Spokane, WA, and Missoula, MT at Pie & Whiskey, the event, run by Kate Lebo and Samuel Ligon. The event invites writers to generate new work based on various prompts that all involve pie or whiskey or both. The organizers reasoned that good writing served with a slice of pie and a shot of whiskey would create an energized atmosphere uncommon at literary events. The writers, drawn mainly from the west but not exclusively, responded with surprising, funny, heartbreaking, fantastically written stories and poems. Look here for tasty servings from Jonathan Evison, Angela Garbes, Shawn Vestal, Kim Addonizio, and Sherrie Flick. The book will include a smattering of pie recipes and whiskey-centric cocktails.
