| Event Name: | Adam Gopnik in conversation with John Lanchester |
| Description: | Join us for a New Yorker double-bill. Adam Gopnik wrote the superb Paris to the Moon about his sojourn in France. Now, in The Table Comes First, he has broadened his horizons to follow in the footsteps of Brillat-Savarin, casting his eye over a whole world of food and its consumption to find answers to essential questions such as: Should a Manhattanite bother to find chicken killed in the Bronx? And: Why does dessert matter so much? This superb collection of essays takes us on a journey from 18th-Century France to the kitchens of the present-day White House, uncovering at every delightful turn the many roles of food and dining in our lives.
He is joined by fellow New Yorker columnist John Lanchester, who, when he turned to writing fiction in 1996, wrote the superb novel The Debt to Pleasure, surely one of the finest foodie tales ever written. |
