Literature, like food, is, in Terry Eagleton’s words, ‘endlessly interpretable’, and food, like literature, ‘looks like an object but is actually a relationship.’ So how much should we read into the way food is represented in literature? This book explores this and other questions in a fascinating tour of twentieth-century Japanese literature.
