The Joys of Pie: A Novel
an excerpt

Pie is a very tasty dish. I like it. In fact, I love pie. I love pie
because it is a very tasty dish. One might say it is the tastiest of
dishes. Sometimes, I wonder why there isn't more pie in the world.
After all, it is a very tasty dish – the tastiest, one might say.
Also, pie is my favorite dish, so why wouldn't anyone want to eat it?
It is tasty.

If you don't believe me, I will elaborate on the subject of pie and
why it is tasty.

One reason that pie is tasty because it has many different flavors. I
like flavors. It's one of the reasons why pie is one of my favorite
dishes and everyone should like pie. Pie comes in flavors like apple,
coconut, lemon, lime, peach, raspberry, blueberry, and many, many
more. It also has other things in it, such as meat, peanut butter, and
chocolate. So, even if you're like me and don't like chocolate you can
eat a meat pie or blueberry pie.

should elaborate on the subject of meat pie. Meat pies are not only
meat. In fact, they are meat and vegetables. Imagine! Vegetables in a
pie. Vegetables are in the filling of the pie. The filling of the pie
is what most people enjoy the most.

It is a common misconception that the crust of the pie is not meant to
be enjoyed, but is rather a holding for the filling. If you think
this, you are sorely mistaken because it is not the truth. It is far
from the truth.

You see, most pies are not made with good crust. They are not good
pies. To make a good pie, you have to have a good crust and a good
filling. So that you can enjoy pie in all its glory, I will now tell
you how to make a pie.

To make a pie, you must first make a crust or buy one. Crusts come in
many different flavors that I will enlighten you about...
