Notebook Issue 8

Like a good dinner party, Issue 8 of Notebook—devoted to food on film—embraces a sense of delicious possibility. Inside, you’ll find meals aplenty. Alfred Hitchcock cooks up quiche Lorraine with his wife Alma Reville. Cultural luminaries like Esther Kinsky, Wesley Morris, Eileen Myles, and Robert Sietsema bring their favorite cinematic dishes to a potluck dinner (cup of coffee from My Dinner with André, meet The Turin Horse’s potato). Join filmmaker Courtney Stephens for a “power lunch” in her centerpiece essay on the late 20th century Hollywood dining ritual.
