Kate Moses reads from Cakewalk | Haight

Submitted by the Event Organizer

In the literary tradition of M.F.K. Fisher and Ruth Reichl comes Cakewalk, a memoir by a born storyteller and self-taught baker whose insatiable appetite for sugar was the key ingredient to surviving a tumultuous sixties-era childhood. Raised by an emotionally stunted, sometimes cruel father and an erratic, frustrated-artist mother, Moses found solace in books and refuge in the kitchen, the one realm where she could wield control.

Kate Moses is the author of the internationally acclaimed Wintering: A Novel of Sylvia Plath, and the coeditor, with Camille Peri, of two popular anthologies of essays on motherhood, the American Book Award-winning Mothers Who Think: Tales of Real-life Parenthood and Because I Said So: 33 Mothers Write about Children, Sex, Men, Aging, Faith, Race & Themselves. As a senior editor and contributing writer for Salon, Kate co-founded Salon’s groundbreaking, award-winning Mothers Who Think website. She lives in San Francisco with her husband and two children.
