Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. Harvinainen ja riemukas kertomus syömisen jalosta taidosta. Pariisin välipaloja on amerikkalaisen lehtimiehen ja tunnetun kulinaristin A.J.Lieblingin ylistyspuhe Pariisin 1920-luvun kultaiselle kaudelle ja sen loistokkaille ravintoloille. Liebling kuvailee asioita, misä vähemmän tiedämme: pikkuravintoloiden ruokaihanuuksia, nyrkkeilyotteluita, kevytkenkäisiä tyttöjä ja vanhan, tutun Pariisin muuttumista. Teos on opaskirja legendaariseen Pariisiin, jota ei enää ole olemassa. (Kansilehti)  Asko_Tolonen | Aug 6, 2017 |  Well-written and evocative, though the Liebling tendency towards snark can be a bit off-putting. (  ) EricCostello | Jul 27, 2017 | If you have never had the experience of reading the prose of one of those old, amazing newspapermen, Liebling is your fellow. And where does he take you? Why, Paris, of course. You just can’t turn down this ride. ( ) debnance | Jul 25, 2015 | Liebling's essay Passable, the last in this too-small volume, is one of the best five I have ever read: a gem! (  ) Faradaydon | Nov 28, 2013 | While this book is probably a 3-and-a-half-star book on its own merit, it is my affection for Paris that gives it the extra edge. ( ) cat-ballou | Apr 2, 2013 |
It is a memoir, focused mostly on his year as a 22-year-old man in Paris to study at the Sorbonne, but who spent quite a bit of time indulging in French cuisine. (That year Liebling spent studying in France was 1926, about 80 years before David Lebovitz moved to the City of Lights.) Later, Liebling went back to France as a World War II correspondent (and won an award from the French government for his reporting), wrote essays on boxing (later compiled in The Sweet Science, named by Sports Illustrated as the best sport book of all time), and wrote “The Wayward Press” for The New Yorker—columns which he wrote as a press critic. All that, and some say Liebling’s best writing is his food writing.
"New Yorker" writer A.J. Liebling recalls his Parisian apprenticeship in the fine art of eating in this charming memoir. No library descriptions found. |
