Zusatztext "A formidable [and] perceptive writer [who] unpacks emotions and observations with a firm and graceful hand." -- The New York Times Book Review Informationen zum Autor Nani Power Klappentext The acclaimed author of "Crawling at Night" turns her incredible storytelling talents to memoir! crafting a sublime work of nonfiction centered around a life of travel! eclectic dining! and dealing with her decidedly eccentric Southern bohemian family. Photographs throughout. Zusammenfassung An author whose fiction has been praised by Mary Gaitskill ("Passionate, intelligent, and piercingly beautiful. ..an altogether striking debut") and Darcy Steinke ("Nani Power...shows that sensuality pervades all of life and is too powerful to be contained in the bedroom alone"), Nani Power turns her incredible storytelling talents to memoir, crafting a sublime work of nonfiction centered around a life of travel, eclectic dining, and dealing with her decidedly eccentric Southern bohemian family. Consumption is the real American pastime. Through the prism of food, we all see our pasts differently. Like the finest food writers, Power brings readers directly into her world through the evocative depiction of the experience of eating. From her childhood on a rambling farm in Virginia -- during which she witnessed a saga of fighting, disowning, silencing, and other regrettable acts -- to her peripatetic and international adult life, Power's reflections are surprising, enthralling, and entertaining. She has a deep understanding of the cuisines of Peru and Mexico, Iran and India; her stints as a sandwich seller in Rio, a waitress in the East Village, a funeral caterer in the Deep South, and on a food junket to Japan all seem familiar as she relates each experience to us through its cuisine. A wealth of detailed recipes throughout the book offer a chance to recreate Power's memories in perpetuity. Lyrical and uplifting, unflinching and brave, Feed the Hungry is a supple, evocative memoir of food, travel, Americana, and family history, written with all the creativity, tenderness, grit, and verve we have come to expect from this uncommonly gifted writer....
