Description

Pierre Arthens, one of the world's most renowned food critics, is facing his mortality in this witty and engaging novel. As he prepares to pass on, he becomes fixated on finding that elusive perfect flavor, a taste that has stayed with him throughout his life. In this charming and humorous tale, Barbery weaves together Arthens' life story, from childhood to maturity, as seen through the eyes of those who knew him - relatives, lovers, acquaintances, and even a cat. Along the way, she celebrates the simple pleasures and sublime moments that make life worth living, while also condemning the arrogance and vulgarity of power. With lush and satisfying prose, Barbery crafts a story that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, inviting readers to reflect on the power of food to bring people together.
