With an introduction by John Banville Winner of the Whitbread First
Novel Award 1996. To like something is to want to ingest it and, in
that sense, is to submit to the world; to like something is to
succumb, in a small but contentful way, to death. Tarquin Winot -
hedonist, food obsessive, ironist and snob - travels a circuitous
route from the Hotel Splendide in Portsmouth to his cottage in
Provence. Along the way he tells the story of his childhood and
beyond through a series of delectable menus, organized by season.
But this is no ordinary cookbook, and as we are drawn into
Tarquin's world, a far more sinister mission slowly reveals itself
. . . Winner of the 1996 Whitbread First Novel Award, John
Lanchester's The Debt to Pleasure is a wickedly funny ode to food;
an erotic and sensual culinary journey. Its elegant, intelligent
and unhinged narrator is nothing less than a work of art himself.
