This week, our arts critics have recommended the best events in every genre—from the Edible Book Festival to a concert highlighting the father of the father of science’s music to Ahamefule J. Oluo’s autobiographical odyssey. See them all below, and find even more events on our complete Things To Do calendar.

MONDAY
READINGS & TALKS
Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney
Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney will read from her debut novel, The Nest—a book that was the subject of a contentious bidding war that ended with a seven figure deal from Ecco Press.
Bard in a Bar
Shakespeare would no doubt approve of Bard in a Bar: rowdy, crowdsourced, and boozy presentations of his plays. Tonight, head to Solo Bar (where scripts and props will be provided) and help participate in Henry IV Pt. 1.
FOOD & DRINK
Dine Around Seattle
During Dine Around Seattle (not to be confused with Seattle Restaurant Week), which runs until March 31, more than 50 restaurants throughout the area are serving three-course dinner menus for just $33, with many restaurants also offering a three-course lunch for $18. Even better: When you make reservations online, a donation is made to the Rainier Valley Food Bank, which serves roughly 12,000 people every month from its tiny 1,200-square-foot facility on Rainier Avenue. Making a reservation at restaurants such as Chavez, Chiso, Lecosho, Poppy, and Tray Kitchen will help provide groceries to hungry families in Southeast Seattle. ANGELA GARBES (Through Thurs)
