A review by randalm
The Devil's Larder by Jim Crace
3.0
A book of short (sometimes very short) stories, each revolving around food. I liked it in the beginning and enjoyed the writing style throughout. But I found myself questioning the relevance of some of the pieces.
Crace takes an almost mystical view of food and its place in our lives. By the end of the book, however, I felt that the whole premise of the book was a good theme gone too far, at least when coming from only one writer.
