J. Ryan Stradal edits the fiction section of The Nervous Breakdown with Gina Frangello, and his writing has appeared in The Rumpus, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and McSweeney’s: The Goods, among other places. Stradal reads from and discusses his bestselling debut novel Kitchens of the Great Midwest, the story of a young woman with a once-in-a-generation palate who becomes the iconic chef behind the country’s most coveted dinner reservation. By turns quirky, hilarious, and vividly sensory, Kitchens of the Great Midwest is an unexpected mother-daughter story about the bittersweet nature of life, its missed opportunities, and its joyful surprises.
