New authors CityLit panel: Ben Shaberman
Essayist Ben Shaberman gives us a sneak peek at the funny I expect him to bring on Saturday.
I'm excited to have my collection of essays, The Vegan Monologues, debut at CityLit.
Surprisingly, I'm already getting fan mail, and one note came from none other than North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il. He wrote:
Dear Mr. Shabbyman.
Like new book so far. Love story about girlfriend's dying cat. Grasshopper porn story great, too. LMAO. Now that missile launch done, can catch up on reading. (Don't worry, we aim for West Coast -- not Baltimore.) Come visit. Cook you great tofu-kimchee dish. (And no fish sauce! No worries vegan man!). You in West funny, but way too nervous. Ha ha,
Love, KJ.
I hope my fellow Baltimoreans will also enjoy my rants and reflections on vegan life.
Please share a story, a recipe, or just complain.
Comments
I've had the privilege of looking at several essays about adventures in the vegan world by Ben over the years, and I'm looking forward to seeing them collected in book form. I have no recipes to share since I'm on record for saying that all dogs should be eaten. Now that my 15-year old just got a black lab/heeler mix, however, I've had to change my mind. Maybe there's hope for this omnivore.

Ben is my uncle so I have to buy the book, but his articles are so funny so I'm sure the book will be worth the money!
