Layer Cake: Writing Historical Fiction
Dateline: Budapest. Inspired by a recently discovered fresco in Pompeii depicting a delectable flatbread on a platter with a large goblet of red wine, a Budapest pizzeria crafted a pie using only ingredients that would have been available in ancient Rome. Although it wasn’t until the 1800s that the city of Naples introduced a street food of tomatoes, cheese, and herbs baked on a thin crust of leavened bread, Titus Caesar in his 79 A.D. toga could have eaten focaccia topped with nuts, savory sauce, dried fruit, herbs. More French Laundry than Dominos.

The Sentence and the Story: A New Year’s Fable
The Sentence
The sentence sat, unmoving.
The sentence was dissatisfied.
The sentence knew that it had untapped potential, but wasn’t using it.
The sentence longed to be metaphorical but it was feeling stuck, like a bluebottle in a room with walls of flypaper.
