The Telling Room: A Tale of Love, Betrayal, Revenge and the World’s Greatest Piece of Cheese
7 p.m., Friday, August 23
In the fall of 1991, at Zingerman’s Deli in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Michael Paterniti encountered a cheese called Paramo de Guzman-a cheese of renown and fable that was rumored to have magical qualities—if you ate it, some said, you might recover long-lost memories.This sets the author upon on a journey to discover the story of this mystical cheese. Equal parts mystery, memoir, travelogue and history, The Telling Room is a product of a decade of work that includes a mystery, a blood feud, accusations of betray and theft, and long held secrets.
Michael Paterniti is the NY Times bestselling author of Driving Mr. Albert: A Trip Across America with Einstein’s Brain. His writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic and Outside. He’s been nominated eight times for the National Magazine Award.
KCLS invites everyone to find A Place at the Table! We’ll toss around fresh ideas about food, cooking, nutrition and growing and using locally produced food. In addition to offering new food ideas, preparation and planning skills, and handy online classes, videos and resources, the series will help everyone create a nourishing table by accepting non-perishable food donations, to be distributed to local King County food banks.
