Because It Is Bitter, Because It Is My Heart

Join literary agent Barbara Reid, her son Greg and her third husband Lowell Farber (you may have seen his books in airport gift shops) for dinner at G.E.L.—a restaurant in Tribeca where everything is made of Jell-O. Über-author Joyce Carol Oates makes a cameo appearance. The New York art world is discussed—as well as knock-off watches and the new Broadway musical, "Breakfast in America" starring Candace St. James. Bon appetite. "Because It Is Bitter, Because It Is My Heart" is a short story from the collection "You Are Here" by Heather Holland Wheaton.
