We were contacted at here at Subpopular from an author of a cookbook/graphic novel about the lives and celebrations of an Italian-American family tradition. Here's an excerpt from their press copy we received:

The cult-status Italian cookbook/graphic novel Feast of the Seven Fishes is going on tour, kicking off December 9 in Erie, Pennsylvania, with stops planned in Cleveland, Youngstown, Philadelphia, Boston and New York over that following week. A little salty, a little racy, the Feast of the Seven Fishes is always honest. From the moment it debuted in September of 2004, the online comic strip developed a loyal audience who rabidly followed the romantic and culinary adventures of an Italian-American family preparing for and celebrating the traditional Christmas Eve seafood feast... ... Feast of the Seven Fishes is currently in pre-production to be made into a feature film set for release around Thanksgiving 2008, and will begin shooting in Pittsburgh this coming January.

The Book tour stop in Youngstown will be at:
Jimmy's Italian Food on Belmont Ave in Liberty, December 10th from 5pm-7pm
