[1]We’re launching a CONTEST today. The prize is the exquisite new novel by Aimee Bender,
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake [1], which has received some of the best reviews of the year, and a coveted slot on Oprah’s [2] top summer reads. It’s easy to enter. But to win, get ready to brag.
Bender tells the story of Rose, a young girl, who discovers an eerie ability to taste feelings in food. We’d like to hear about YOUR natural gift. (e.g, here’s mine [3].) What comes most easily to you? What distinct talent does it seem you were born with? Your natural gift doesn’t need to be grand, nor do-goody, just authentic. Submit your entries using the Comments section. Include your full name, email address, and a U.S. shipping address, which we’ll need for delivery purposes (they will not be published). Enter as often as you like because the book is a gem, and hardcovers could soon become collector’s items. Deadline, August 9, 2010.
