Einstein's Beets
Einstein's Beets | Alexander Theroux
3 posts | 6 to read
Britney Spears loathes meatloaf and all lumpy stuff. Arturo Toscanini hated fish. Ayn Rand despised salads. Alexander Therouxs Einsteins Beets is a study of the world of food and food aversions. The novelist and poet probes the secret and mysterious attitudes of hundreds of people?mostly famous and well-known?toward eating and dining out, hilariously recounting tales of confrontation and scandalous alienation: it contains gossip, confession, embarrassment, and perceptive observations.

This beast is mine. It is HUGE! I wonder if I'll ever read it. 😌

Angelala007 Ooh it sounds really interesting. I don't understand food aversions and yet I can't eat that universal favourite, baked beans :) 7y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled It looks daunting, but yet, so enticing! 7y
CherylDeFranceschi @bookloo Well- this makes me feel better! It's only 792 pages. But it's very very much bigger than The Goldfinch or A Little Life. It must be extra premium paper stock. 7y
