Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. It is Berlin, 1929. The inflation-hungry city is edging towards disaster, but seven-foot Jewish orphan Esther Rosenbaum is serving up a banquet for friends. They are the bohemians, artists and kabarett composers who have sampled her finest recipes in the legendary Schorns restaurant and lon…g declared her Germany's most celebrated chef. Except it is a life built on quicksand: Schorns' proprietor is owned by a gay black marketeer, Leon Wolf, but patronised by Nazis. The revolutionaries who briefly seized power ten years earlier are distracted by personal feuds and vendettas, manipulated by one Bertolt Brecht. While Esther, once a towering presence clad in her peacock tapestry skirts, has started to dress as a man to blend into Berlin's vicious night streets.The cook capable of creating delicacies such as chocolate hearts stuffed with saffron pen nibs has stopped eating and is reducing herself to bone. Using a burlesque brand of magic realism, Penny Simpson conjures up fantastical elements to show how cookery can be an act of storytelling, and imagination itself an act of subversion and survival. The interwar cabaret scene in Munich and Berlin, seen through the eyes of a seven foot Jewish giantess. The tapestry of Jewish culture, evoked through food, theatre, clothes and custom, at the point at which it is about to unravel. This retro epic evokes Angela Carter's brand of burlesque magic realism. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
