Chocolate Cake for Imaginary Lives: a collection of short stories by Genevieve Jenner
Gustave Flaubert (12 December 1821 - 8 May 1880) was a French novelist. Highly influential, he has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country. According to the literary theorist Kornelije Kvas, in Flaubert, realism strives for formal perfection, so the presentation of reality tends to be neutral, emphasizing the values and importance of style as an objective method of presenting reality. He is known especially for his debut novel Madame Bovary (1857), his Correspondence, and his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics. The celebrated short story writer Guy de Maupassant was a prot g of Flaubert."A super collection, with wit and verve .. There is a confident breeziness to the tales that make them fun to read - I found myself having to slow down halfway through the book because I didn't want it to be over too soon!' Amazon, 5*
"Wow, brilliant ... Like having a glass of wine with a genius chef who tells great stories at the bar after hours" Amazon, 5*
"Quirky but brilliant read ... The short stories are page turners and I enjoyed wondering whatever fact and what was fiction. Great book" Amazon, 5*
"A delicious morsel of a book. ... Whimsical escapes that titillate your palate. When recipes become narratives, the results are delicious" Amazon, 5*
