The Epicure's Lament
If you’ve never read one of the most remarkable contemporary writers out there, this is the place to start. PEN/Faulkner winner Kate Christensen is brilliant. She writes with a British novelist's mastery of character and humor, but with her own distinct American style. If you love “loser-lit” like A Confederacy of Dunces, enter Hugo, one of the most memorable characters in any novel I’ve ever read. He’s a misanthropic, chain-smoking man with refined tastes and epicurean leanings. If you’re a foodie, you’ll drool over the meals he creates. When his estranged wife and his gay uncle move into his dilapidated family home, things get complicated.
Absolutely laugh-out-loud funny, & well-written too!
