Book/Plate with Matthew Gavin Frank

Giant squids are utterly fascinating, and Frank’s new book, Preparing the Ghost: An Essay Concerning the Giant Squid and Its First Photographer, is a unique hybrid of fiction, science, and memoir centering on this mystical creature and the eccentric Newfoundlander who photographed one in 1874. Don’t miss your chance to ask him all about it at this family-style, adventure-themed dinner crafted for the author by the chefs at Peck's.
