This collection of interviews captures the conversation of one of
the most prominent prose writers in the Unites States. About her
the "Chicago Sun-Times" says, "She is to literary prose what Sir
Laurence Olivier is to acting or Willie Mays is to baseball."
These interviews reveal her uncompromising and frequently
contradictory attitudes toward the luxuries and necessities of
gastronomy, the idea that sensual appreciation, in all aspects of
life, is or should be necessary. In her conversations m. F. K.
Fisher often returns to the complexities of her life. Other
recurring subjects in these interviews include the nature of aging,
the differences between men and women, and her own relationship to
her work, which she describes with precision and a selective
memory.
These pieces give us a view of M. F. K. Fisher in
motion--speaking and changing her mind at will, with fierce wit,
unable to tolerate simplistic strategies of thinking and
living.
