Taste: A Book of Small Bites - Jehanne Dubrow

Descriere Taste: A Book of Small Bites - Jehanne Dubrow

\nTaste is a lyric meditation on one of our five senses, which we often take for granted. Structured as a series of small bites, the book considers the ways that we ingest the world, how we come to know ourselves and others through the daily act of tasting. \n \nThrough flavorful explorations of the sweet, the sour, the salty, the bitter, and umami, Jehanne Dubrow reflects on the nature of taste. In a series of short, interdisciplinary essays, she blends personal experience with analysis of poetry, fiction, music, and the visual arts, as well as religious and philosophical texts. Dubrow considers the science of taste and how taste transforms from a physical sensation into a metaphor for discernment. \n \nTaste is organized not so much as a linear dinner served in courses but as a meal consisting of meze, small plates of intensely flavored discourse.\n
