After a misspent youth involving loads of dead-end jobs and several questionable decisions, Julie Powell, author of Julie and Julia, has found her calling as a writer-cum-butcher. She lives in Long Island City, Queens, when she isn't in Kingston, NY, cutting up animals.
"Hilarious and ferociously articulate. Powell wrote candidly and
vividly about her antic adventures with Child's recipes... But
perhaps more importantly, she wrote about food in a rich and
raucous context, about putting pot-au-feu on the table through
plumbing crises and existential desperation; about both Buffy the
Vampire Slayer fandom and the difficulties of finding marrow
bones."
-Entertainment Weekly "Bracingly original, JULIE & JULIA is clearly
the work of a writer who has reclaimed her soul." -People "Powell
is not a domestic goddess; she's emphatically, unembarrassedly a
domestic mortal. But she is also a genuinely gifted thinker and
writer about food." -Time "You don't have to like cooking or French
food to enjoy the zippiness of Ms. Powell's prose or to admire the
purpose of her project....And she really did change her life. Now
she's a writer. A good one."
-The Wall Street Journal
