Taking literary food studies in a new direction to explore the connections between what or how one eats and what one is. Focusing primarily on four influential twentieth-century authors, Georges Bataille, Samuel Beckett, Paul Auster and Margaret Atwood, this book theorizes the relationship between modernism and postmodernism.
Introduction, you are what you eat: thinking food otherwise; 1. George Bataille's pornographic food; 2. Samuel Beckett's alimentary Cogito; 3. Food, the fall, and the detective: the case of Paul Auster; 4. Food in Margaret Atwood's dystopias; Conclusion, modernism, postmodernism, and the otherwise of eating.
