We are pleased to host a discussion and book signing with novelist Crystal King on Thursday, February 28th at 7pm. Ms. King will talk about her new historical fiction novel The Chef’s Secret, which follows the career of Bartolomeo Scappi, a renowned Italian Renaissance chef who was the cuoco segreto (private cook) to several popes.

Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
