What’s the Word? Thanksgiving Specials
Literary Feasts
In literature, feasts often serve as central events in telling a story.
Whether you’re the host or the guest, whether the table is set for two or twenty, feasts are memorable occasions. They may mark holidays, special events, or simply the celebration of family and friends. This program features three works that focus on feasts. Sarah Webster Goodwin talks about Isak Dinesen’s short story “Babette’s Feast”; Kari Salkjelsvik explores Laura Esquivel’s novel _Like Water for Chocolate_; and Gail Kern Paster talks about Ben Jonson’s poem “Inviting a Friend to Supper.”
