Une gourmandise revolves around an old, dying, prominent food critic who, on the eve of his life, searches his memory looking for the one
never-to-be-forgotten taste he ever experienced. With vivid depictions of both feelings and sensations, Muriel Barbery’s novel plunges us
into a synesthetic atmosphere spawned by the confluence of word, senses and nostalgia.
