The Wine Lover's Daughter: A Memoir,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In The Wine Lovers Daughter, Anne Fadiman examineswith all her characteristic wit and feelingher relationship with her father, Clifton Fadiman, a renowned literary critic, editor, and radio host whose greatest love was wine.An appreciation of winealong with a plummy uppercrust accent, expensive suits, and an encyclopedic knowledge of Western literaturewas an essential element of Clifton Fadimans escape from lowermiddleclass Brooklyn to swanky Manhattan. But wine was not just a classvaulting accessory; it was an object of ardent desire. The Wine Lovers Daughter traces the arc of a mans infatuation from the glass of cheap Graves he drank in Paris in 1927; through the Chteau LafiteRothschild 1904 he drank to celebrate his eightieth birthday, when he and the bottle were exactly the same age; to the wines that sustained him in his last years, when he was blind but still buoyed, as always, by hedonism.Wine is the spine of this touching memoir; the life and character of Fadimans father, along with her relationship with him and her own less ardent relationship with wine, are the flesh. The Wine Lovers Daughter is a poignant exploration of love, ambition, class, family, and the pleasures of the palate by one of our finest essayists.
