In more than thirty books, M.F.K. Fisher forever changed the way
Americans understood not only the art of eating but the art of
living. Whether considering the oyster or describing how to cook a
wolf, she addressed the universal needs "for food and security and
love." Readers were instantly drawn into her circle of husbands and
lovers, artists and artisans; they felt they knew Fisher herself,
whether they encountered her as a child with a fried-egg sandwich
in her pocket, a young bride awakening to the glories of French
food, or a seductress proffering the first peas of the season.
Oldest child, wife, mother, mistress, self-made career woman,
trailblazing writer-Fisher served up each role with panache. But
like many other master stylists, she was also a master
mythologizer. To retell her story as it really happened, Joan
Reardon has made the most of her access to Fisher, her family and
friends, and her private papers. This multifaceted portrayal of the
woman John Updike christened our "poet of the appetites" is no less
memorable than the personae Fisher crafted for herself.
