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 Theroux’s Einstein’s 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.

Einstein's Beets | Alexander Theroux

Reading a wide variety this week: non-fiction about food phobias, two literary fiction; and an upcoming book of fabulous short stories!

Angelala007 Ooh it sounds really interesting. I don't understand food aversions and yet I can't eat that universal favourite, baked beans :) 8y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled It looks daunting, but yet, so enticing! 8y

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. 8y

Reviewsbylola Creepy cover! And yes, that's huge! š± 8y
