The Day I Ate
Whatever I Wanted: And Other Small Acts of Liberation by Elizabeth Berg is a thoughtful, whimsical, entertaining collection of
short stories about food and family, love and loneliness, denial and the triumph
of desires!
Have you ever wanted to hop on a plane to Chicago simply to have a hot dog
there? Wanted to escape a holiday family dinner so badly you lost your composure
at the table? Ever thought your day would be simply perfect if you could just
eat all the carbs you wanted in a solid 24 hours without an ounce of
self-loathing?
Berg’s characters go about their daily lives dealing with these questions, and
we see them in the most ordinary and the most surprising of circumstances. Each
story provokes us to think about the choices we make, the things in life we
allow ourselves to have and the things we deny ourselves because we are too
afraid to have something we are told is bad for us.
Every now and then, a woman rebels, kicks up her heels, and commits a small act
of liberation. What would you do, if nobody was looking?
