Debt to Pleasure by John Lanchester
Winner of the Whitbread Award for Best First Novel and a New York Times Notable Book, The Debt to Pleasure is a wickedly funny ode to food. Traveling from Portsmouth to the south of France, Tarquin Winot, the book's snobbish narrator, instructs us in his philosophy on everything from the erotics of dislike to the psychology of the menu. Under the guise of completing a cookbook, Winot is in fact on a much more sinister mission that only gradually comes to light.
John Lanchester is the author of five novels, including the New York Times bestsellers Debt to Pleasure and Capital, as well as nonfiction books. His novels have won the Whitbread First Novel Award, the Hawthornden Prize, and the E. M. Forster Prize.
