Eat Cake
by Euan Kerr, Minnesota Public Radio
June 18, 2003

St. Paul, Minn. — Jeanne Ray became a novelist late in life, but she has published three books in the last five years. Not that she hasn't had writing in her life: her daughter is acclaimed author Ann Patchett. Ray claims she isn't very creative, and just writes about things she knows. She knows a lot about cake. Her latest novel is about a family which finds salvation through cake. Here's a slice from the novel called Eat Cake.
