Food in Literature (Don’t Miss This!)

The Atlantic today featured a wonderful article from the past (I don’t know how I missed it then). I’ve included the covers of some of the books from which the author quoted amazing food passages. In my reviews, I often select paragraphs that describe food, and in the past, I’ve done so with some of these books. This is really a wonderful collection!

Haruki Murakami’s stir fry, Maurice Sendak’s chicken soup with rice—only the most gifted writers have made meals on the page worth remembering.
