Let Them Eat Cake! Author Launches New Book
Oct 30, 2023
Phoenixville, Pennsylvania Oct 29, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Friends and family gathered Sunday at The Clubhouse, West Side Apartments, Phoenixville for local author, Janice O'Brien's book launch. The author read excerpts from her book, Eating My Way Through Life, Family Stories of Talented Cooks & Tasty Food, and then signed copies.
Guests were treated to scrumptious chocolate chip cookies, O'Brien's favorite, baked by Supernatural Sweetz, Phoenixville. Guests took home a boxed slice of Reba's Coffee Cake. O'Brien writes that the recipe was the most celebrated in her family's arsenal of favorites, included in the book.
O'Brien's family were foodies long before the term came into our vernacular. From the moment she devoured a shrimp cocktail served with horseradish sauce, delectable food played a prominent role in her life. This collection of stories is about a family where food was a priority and the common denominator that united them. Growing up in the 1950s and 60s, O'Brien's family spent Sundays together, and her mother cooked and baked everything from scratch. She followed in her family's footsteps and became a talented cook, trying new recipes, loving to bake, and hosting guests, just like her ancestors.

In 2015, O'Brien released her first book, Poems I Wrote When I Wasn't Talking, which features two award-winning poems. After living most of her life in the New York metropolitan area, O'Brien now lives in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.
Eating My Way Through Life, Family Stories of Skilled Cooks & Tasty Food is available at Amazon.com.

How Hong Kong New Wave directors hijacked martial arts and crime films to make art
It is easy to misremember the Hong Kong New Wave of the late 1970s and 80s. Nearly five decades after its inception, that iconic chapter in the city’s cinema history is generally thought of as a socially inclined art-house movement that addressed everyday issues – a stark contrast to the martial arts films that dominated the local box office at the time. While partially true, viewing New Wave films merely as local iterations of 1960s and 70s rarefied European art-house cinema misses the mark....
