From the author of The Deluxe Transitive Vampire comes this delightful collection of writings about food, drink, and the art of eating. Drawing on excerpts from more than 50 writers–Barthes, Balzac, Mandelstam, McPhee, Marquez, and Joyce among them–Gordon gives us a funny, surprising, and wonderfully macabre book.
