This is a cookbook for the millennium: an extravagant, shameless
and highly entertaining work that will change the course of
contemporary cuisine, it takes cooking out of the kitchen and away
from the TV screens, and puts it where it deserves to be: in the
philosophy section alongside Plato and other great culinary
masters. The notorious Thursday Club reveals its culinary secrets
as the reader is invited to take part in its annual banquet. The
meal is lavish, its contents unique, the taste out of this world.
It is not just a meal but a philosophical statement. It is not to
be eaten, but absorbed into the body. Orlando Crispe demonstrates
the power of food on human behavior and how it can incite both love
and revulsion. And no detail of preparation is too insignificant or
too outre to be revealed: Beef Stock au Orlando Crispe: Marinate
the carcass of a cow in a hot-water bath for several hours with its
chef, so that the juices of the one can mingle with that of the
other.

"I just killed a man, but I'm not a murderer." He's Ray Falco, a
Washington journalist living in burnt-out seclusion until an
unnameable force--Vodoun--draws him into a murder investigation
that spans the centuries, from the Haitian revolution in 1793 to
the blood-soaked present. Falco's adventures propel him into the
world of Haitian exile politics, whose inhabitants live in a
nefarious shadowland: --Faustian Gabriel, an enigmatic art gallery
owner whose sleek exterior masks his true identity. --Carmen
Mondesir, the director of a Haitian charity whose haunted blue eyes
peer out from ebony skin, hinting at the violent contradictions
within her. --Lucy Marcelin, a beautiful Haitian-born lawyer who
guides Falco through a world few outsiders ever see. Against the
surreal backdrop of Haitian elections, where the gods of voodoo
wield more influence than the voters, these four fates
intertwine...and Ray Falco realizes that only Vodoun can save him.
"A voodoo curse turns Haitian history into a demented exercise in
deja vu- from the fevered, all-stops-out imagination behind
U.S.S.A."--Kirkus Reviews
The master of the macabre is back. A fictional memoir told in Edgar
Allan Poe's own literary style, "Black Plume" recreates in vivid
detail Poe's strange marriage to his child-bride, his struggle to
make a living, his addiction to alcohol and his agonizing battle
against the sensuality of his nature. Rather than violate the
innocence of his wife, Poe indulges in a passionate, opium-laced
affair with two mysterious fortune tellers, whose exotic allure
blinds him to the danger that swirls around them. When the women
are brutally murdered, Poe is drawn into an adventure that brings
him face to face with a terror even he couldn't have invented...and
inspires his uniquely dark imagination to create the first American
detective story. Told with chilling detail, "Black Plume" will
light up your evenings and darken your days.
The student workbook is design to help the user retain key chapter
