A new genre: Food Label Fiction. housingworksbookstore: Someone in the cheese department at the Westside Market has gotten creative with the cheese labeling. Or asKathy Cacace notes in her Tweet: has “fucking lost their mind.” The description on this chunk of mimolette reads: “Sara had been gone for 25 years, and in all that time I hadn’t found any new ways to cope. Only to miss her.” This appears to be from James Patterson’s book, Run For Your Life, where he writes something similar about a woman named “Maeve.” (via Unexpected, Bizarre Literary Reference On This Piece Of Cheese: Gothamist) Thanks for the tip, Hils!
