Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Garner gathers a literary chorus to capture the joys of reading and eating in this comic, personal classic.Reading and eating, like Krazy and Ignatz, Sturm und Drang, prosciutto and melon, Simon and Schuster, and radishes and butter, have always, for me, simply gone together. The book youre holding is a product of these combined gluttonies.Dwight Garner, the beloved New York Times critic and the author of Garners Quotations, serves up the intertwined pleasures of books and food. The product of a lifetime of obsessively reading, eating, and every combination therein, The Upstairs Delicatessen: On Eating, Reading, Reading About Eating, and Eating While Reading is a charming, emotional memoir, one that only Garner could write. In it, he records the voices of great writers and the stories from his life that fill his mind as he moves through the sections of the day and of this book: breakfast, lunch, shopping, the occasional nap, drinking, and dinner.Through his lifelong infatuation with these twin joys, we meet the man behind the pages and the plates, and a portrait of Garner, eager and insatiable, emerges. He writes with tenderness and humor about his mayonnaiseladen childhood in West Virginia and Naples, Florida (and about his fathers famous peanut butter and pickle sandwich), his mindopening marriage to a chef from a foodie family (Cree grew up taking leftover frog legs to school in her lunch box), and the words and dishes closest to his heart. This is a book to be savored, though it may just whet your appetite for more.
