Dinner: Slip of the Tongue

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner #3

by Diane Meier

The last in a series of three short stories (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner), Slip of the Tongue takes you behind the scenes in the lives of characters who create the media, art and design we recognize as defining our world of Style.

Inspired by one of her favorite movies, My Dinner With André, Meier embraced the form of allowing all movement to take place only in the territory of ideas – but expanded it to take in a loose dinner party of artists and writers at The Waverly Inn. Keep your ears peeled as many voices vie for your attention and layer the story with intent and speculation about how we come to impart value within our culture and within our own lives.

Author, Diane Meier, has run her own luxury marketing firm for decades, with clients like Maximilian Furs, Neiman Marcus, Elizabeth Arden and DeBeers in her portfolio.

Her first book, The New American Wedding; Ritual and Style in a Changing Culture, explored the many stylish options available in creating authentic ceremony and celebration. And her first novel, The Season of Second Chances was Henry Holt’s lead book for Spring, an Independent bookstore choice (Indie-Bound) top choice and noted as a top Summer Reading Choice by The New York Times.
