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.
By Adrienne LaFrance
Nobody can write about food in literature without quoting Proust’s famous passage about the madeleine.
