Summary

Welcome to literature's wildest dinner party, where the booze flows freely and the food may induce hallucinations. This collection of food and drink writing from the award-winning literary journal Tin House views life through the prism of hunger and literature, which makes for heady combinations: love and gyoza, mortality and take-out, illicit romance and hollow-hearted greens, success and squirrel casserole. Funny, melancholy, always original, Food & Booze is a devilish, decadent feast. Book jacket.
