«Une gourmandise» is the novel by Muriel Barbery, published by Gallimard in paperback (165 pages, in French).
A celebrated food critic, on the brink of death, reviews his life through the memory of the senses: childhood stews, landscapes, smells and great banquets parade by as he searches for a lost flavour that eludes him. Close voices complete the portrait of a man who made the table his reason for being.
First instalment of the series «7 rue de Grenelle». The work received the Prix du premier roman de l'université d'Artois, the Prix Bacchus-BSN and the Prix du Meilleur livre de Littérature gourmande.
For readers of literary fiction interested in gastronomy, sensory memory and character portraits.
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.
