M.F.K. Fisher
A deep dive into the culinary, literary, and underwater lives of that most noble and inscrutable bivalve, the oyster.
In Consider the Oyster, M.F.K. Fisher explores the many lives of the mysterious oyster—from its strange cloistered existence in the watery depths to the many roles it has played in our culinary history as table fare both humble and refined. In this canonical study of one of the ocean’s most intriguing inhabitants, Fisher combines folklore, family history, memoir, and recipes to evoke a picture of a most compelling creature. Whether describing her own introduction to the “strange cold succulence” of an oyster as a young woman in Marseille and Dijon, or her mother’s delight at encountering oyster loaf in a girls’ dorm in the 1890s, M.F.K. Fisher’s wise, witty prose piques the appetite and rouses the senses to consider the hidden possibilities of this most beguiling mollusk.
Eleştirmen yorumları
"In M.F.K. Fisher memory and word are joined incomparably."
—James Beard
"The greatest food writer who has ever lived."
—Simon Schama, Financial Times
"In a properly run culture, Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher would be recognized as one of the great writers this country has produced in this century."
—Raymond Sokolov, The New York Times Book Review
"M.F.K. Fisher is as talented a writer as she is a cook. Indeed, I do not know of anyone in the United States today who writes better prose."
—W.H. Auden
“Since Lewis Carroll no one had written charmingly about that indecisively sexed bivalve until Mrs. Fisher came along with her Consider the Oyster. Surely this will stand for some time as the most judicious treatment in English.”
—Clifton Fadiman
