Kate Christensen
That the greatly admired novelist Kate Christensen has turned to the memoir form after six novels makes this book an event. Readers of memoirs of high literary quality, particularly those with food themesâ€”most conspicuously Ruth Reichl's Comfort Me with Apples and Gabrielle Hamilton's Blood, Bones, and Butterâ€”as well as admirers of M. F. K. Fisher and Laurie Colwin will be a large and eager audience.,This memoir derives from Kate's popular foodcentric blog (,http://katechristensen.wordpress.com,), in which she shares scenes from an unusual upbringing and an unusually happy present-day life, providing an audience for this book that is already primed. That it is written by Kate Christensen means it will be a delicious reading experience in every senseâ€”a compulsively readable account of a knockabout life, full of sorrows and pleasures, many of the latter of the sensual, appetitive variety.
