About This Item
Seattle: Fantagraphics Books, 2017. Hardcover. Near fine, slight flaw in cover near spine/Very good, shelf wear. Weighing in at 792 pages, this compendium of stories about people and their relationships to food is at times funny, at times personal, and at times deeply meditative on human nature and the role of food. Filled with diverse yet familiar figures such as Julia Child, Frederick Douglass, and Tom Cruise, the work combines food fun facts with thoughtful literary analysis. The much-awarded novelist and poet Alexander Theroux (Fulbright Grant 1969, Guggenheim Grant 1974) offers an amusing and thought-provoking exploration of humans and how we eat.
