Join us Friday, October 25th for a talk in the Common Reading Series

COMMON READING SERIES: Savoring Spokane: Exploring Its Iconic Eateries with Author Adriana Janovich
12:00pm–1:00pm
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU

What makes a restaurant stand out from the rest? And how do you capture its essence in 400 words or fewer? Adriana Janovich, author of Unique Eats and Eateries of Spokane: The People and Stories Behind the Food (Reedy Press, 2024), discusses her process for researching Spokane restaurants from A to Zip’s Drive-In—and the people and stories behind them—for her new book. A longtime newspaper writer, Janovich served as the food editor at the Spokane Spokesman-Review from 2013 to 2019 before coming to Washington State University as the associate editor at Washington State Magazine.

BookPeople of Moscow will be selling copies of the book at this event. You may reserve a copy ahead of time via the BookPeople website.

COMMON READING SERIES | The 2024-25 Common Reading Series at the museum is a collaboration between the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU and the WSU Common Reading Program. Talks in the series will address a wide variety of food-related topics to deepen our community’s understanding of this year’s common read, How the Other Half Eats by Priya Fielding-Singh, and The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation exhibition, on view at the art museum from August 20, 2024–March 8, 2025.

This talk is free and open to the public, with donations welcome.
