"The New York Times book critic gathers his literary chorus to capture the pure pleasure of reading and eating in this comic, soulful, semi-autobiographic treasure"--

The product of a lifetime of obsessive reading, eating, and every combination therein, Garner serves up the intertwined pleasures of books and food. He records the voices of great writers, alongside tales of his mayonnaise-laden childhood, his mind-opening marriage to a chef from a foodie family, and the words and dishes closest to his heart. -- adapted from jacket
