Truffle Hound by Rowan Jacobsen
4.0
A quirky and niche novel seeking to capture the evanescent funghi and all the curious characters in this unusual industry. Part nature-writing, part travel log, part stunt-journalism. *Birthday present from Lachy.
“…the more I learn to appreciate a good smellscape, the more I’ve begun to wonder if dogs sniff the world mostly for the sheer gorgeousness of it, and I’ve started to think of truffles as the street artists of the forest, splashing smells across an airy canvas, blowing the minds of passersby”.
