Requirements: .PDF reader, 5.0 MB
Overview: An astonishingly original and monumental study on the enigmatic world of food and food aversions.
Arturo Toscanini hated fish. Ayn Rand despised salads. Britney Spears loathes meatloaf and ‘all lumpy stuff’. Secretary of State John Kerry cannot stand the taste of celery. Sigmund Freud harboured a lifelong dislike specifically for chicken and cauliflower. Virginia Woolf was plagued by food demons. So were Kafka, J.D. Salinger and Orson Welles. Mark Twain, who travelled widely, disliked virtually every European food. Adolf Hitler hated meat and subsisted on gruel, linseed mush, muesli and vegetarian soups.
Alexander Theroux’s EINSTEIN’S BEETS is an astonishingly original and monumental study on this enigmatic subject – the world of food and food aversions. Theroux explicates the inexplicable and often weird preoccupations of food aversions, unique among the thousands of books a year dealing with food. What more reveals what we are than food, the fuel by which we move, the resource by which we grow?
