Celebrate books good enough to eat at the International Edible Books Festival April 1st<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once again, the University of Cincinnati Libraries will celebrate the International Edible Books Festival with an event scheduled for Monday, April 1, from 11 a.m. to noon on the 4th floor of the Walter C. Langsam Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the event, participants will present edible creations inspired by an author. There are few restrictions in creating an edible book \u2014 namely that the creation be edible and have something to do with a book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submitted entries so far include intriguing titles such as \u201cCatching Fire,” “Squish Delish,” “3D Graphics Rendering Cookbook,” “Angle of Repose,” “And Then There Were None” and “The Scarlet Letter.” Nature is a theme this year with “The Shell Seekers,” “Bunnies on Ice,” “Gathering Moss,” “The Secret Garden” and “Crossings: How Road Ecology is Shaping the Future of our Planet.” Out-of-this-world titles “War of the Worlds” and “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” will thrill attendees while “Pop-a-rif-ic” and “Trufflemadorian” will leave them happy. Numerous children\u2019s books will make people smile with such titles as “The Little Prince,” “Dragons Love Tacos,” “Corduroy’s Lost Buttons,” “Porkopolis” and “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Poetry will be represented with “Apricots of Donbas” along with biographies “Tupak” and “The Story of My Life.” See, and taste, these delicious entries and more at the event on April 1st. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As in past years, entries will be judged according to such categories as Most Literary, Most Delicious, Most Adorable and Most Gruesome. In addition, the Top Student Entry and Best Overall Entry will receive UC merch. After the entries are judged they will be consumed and enjoyed by all in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the International Edible Book Festival website, the edible book was initiated by librarian and artist Judith A. Hoffberg during a 1999 Thanksgiving celebration with book artists. It became an international celebration in 2000 when artist B\u00e9atrice Coron launched the Books2Eat website. Traditionally, the event is celebrated on April 1st (April Fools\u2019 Day) to mark the birthday of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), a French lawyer and politician who became famous for his book, \u201cPhysiologie du gout\u201d (The Physiology of Taste).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Libraries International Edible Books Festival is free and open to the public. Following the event, pictures of the edible books and their awards will be posted on the Libraries Facebook<\/a> page.
