The Debt To Pleasure: Picador Classic - John Lanchester
With an introduction by John Banville Winner of the Whitbread First Novel Award 1996. Tarquin Winot - hedonist, food obsessive, ironist and snob - travels a circuitous route from the Hotel Splendide in Portsmouth to his cottage in Provence. To like something is to want to ingest it and, in that sense, is to submit to the world; to like something is to succumb, in a small but contentful way, to death.
But this is no ordinary cookbook, and as we are drawn into Tarquin's world, a far more sinister mission slowly reveals itself ...Winner of the 1996 Whitbread First Novel Award, John Lanchester's The Debt to Pleasure is a wickedly funny ode to food; an erotic and sensual culinary journey. Along the way he tells the story of his childhood and beyond through a series of delectable menus, organized by season. Its elegant, intelligent and unhinged narrator is nothing less than a work of art himself.
