«Estasi culinarie» is the contemporary fiction novel by Muriel Barbery, published by E/O in paperback (145 pages, in Italian).
On rue de Grenelle, the all-powerful food critic monsieur Arthens, on his deathbed, longs to recover a primordial taste. The novel ironically reviews his career and life between humble dishes and haute cuisine; his associates and victims (family, the student, the concierge Renée...) counterpose their voices to the arrogant critic's account.
Number 204 of the «Tascabili e/o» series; Barbery's first novel and first installment of «7 rue de Grenelle». Original title: «Une gourmandise».
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in social satire and gastronomy as a narrative thread.
Muriel Barbery is a French novelist and philosophy teacher. Her 2006 novel The Elegance of the Hedgehog quickly sold more than a million copies in several countries.
