I was terrified the first time I had to pick up the phone to call Edna O'Brien at her house in London. I pictured a grande dame in a Georgian manse. At the time, the mid-90s, I was a 28-year-old senior publicist in the publishing business, working for Dutton and its paperback line, Plume, and Ms. O'Brien was more than three decades into a storiedwriting career. But she was easy to talk to, and we became fast phone friends.

We were 10 years old, and we were on a shopping and dining expedition on 86th Street, Bay Ridge’s big commercial strip.

It all starts out so promising as we observe, through time-lapse photography, the creation of Bras’s signature dish, the Gargouillou.
