When you’re burning the midnight oil and your stomach starts to grumble, what should you reach for to fuel you through the night? We decided to go directly to the source. We mean writers, of course. After all, who knows better the pain and pleasure of the midnight munchies than the literary set?
This month, we asked 20 authors, past and present, to share what they snack on in the wee hours.
Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney’s wildly enjoyable family saga, The Nest, chronicles the delicate dance of four siblings as they circle around an anticipated inheritance. How each deals with the realization the chickens they have been counting may indeed never hatch shows each at his or her worst — and best.
Sweeney, now a California transplant, lived and worked in New York City for more than two decades, writing copy for a variety of clients, including American Express and more defunct internet start-ups than she cares to count. Having written for both McDonald’s and Martha Stewart Living, it’s fair to say Sweeney knows something about both the sublime and the ridiculous when it comes to food.
