Product Description

Amanda Hesser 'one of the best of the young food writers' (Jeffrey Steingarten, "Vogue") has showcased the food-inspired recollections of some of America's leading writers in "The New York Times Magazine". "Eat, Memory" collects twenty-six of the best stories with recipes to accompany them. Ann Patchett confronts her stubbornness in an argument she once had with her then-boyfriend, now husband, over dinner at the Paris restaurant Taillevent. Tom Perrotta explains how his long list of food aversions almost landed him in an East German prison. Gabrielle Hamilton finds that hiring a blind cook leads her into ethical terrain she wasn't prepared to navigate. And poet Billy Collins muses over his relationship with a fish he once ate. Also included are stories by Chang-rae Lee, Patricia Marx, John Burnham Schwartz, George Saunders, Colson Whitehead, Kiran Desai, Pico Iyer and Heidi Julavits, among others.
