Gluttony: Ample Tales of Epicurean Excess

Gluttony: Ample Tales of Epicurean Excess

Ben Cosgrove
3.1/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Hot on the heels of "Lust," the second title in our "Chronicles of Sin" series explores excess in all its bulging glory. "Gluttony" is a satisfying smorgasbord of good writing about an overabundance of food and drink -- and its consequences. Everyone loves to eat and drink, and in "Gluttony" readers can indulge to their hearts' content -- without gaining an ounce. Including short stories, essays, and excerpts, "Gluttony" offers such delicious tidbits as Russell Baker on fried bologna, M.F.K. Fisher on the carnal beauty of excess, and Fran Lebowitz on the salutary dietary effects of stress. Featuring both period and contemporary pieces, "Gluttony" stretches the waistband of fine food writing.
