Blue Plate Special by
ISBN: 9780385536264Publication Date: 2013-07-09From acclaimed novelist Kate Christensen, "Blue Plate Special "is a mouthwatering literary memoir about an unusual upbringing and the long, winding path to happiness. "To taste fully is to live fully." For Kate Christensen, food and eating have always been powerful connectors to self and world--"a subterranean conduit to sensuality, memory, desire." Her appetites run deep; in her own words, she spent much of her life as "a hungry, lonely, wild animal looking for happiness and stability." Now, having found them at last, in this passionate feast of a memoir she reflects upon her journey of innocence lost and wisdom gained, mistakes made and lessons learned, and hearts broken and mended.
