‘This book is crazy. You have to read it.’ — Bon Appetit
Food critic Dorothy Daniels loves what she does. Discerning, meticulous, & very, very smart, Dorothy's clear mastery of the culinary arts make it likely that she could, on any given night, whip up a more inspired dish than any one of the chefs she writes about. Dorothy loves sex as much as she loves food, & while she has struggled to find a long-term partner that can keep up with her, she makes the best of her single life, frequently traveling from Manhattan to Italy for a taste of both.
But there is something within Dorothy that's different from everyone else, & having suppressed it long enough, she starts to embrace what makes Dorothy uniquely, terrifyingly herself. Dorothy has always had a voracious – & adventurous – appetite. Recounting her life from a seemingly idyllic farm-to-table childhood, the heights of her career, to the moment she plunges an ice pick into a man's neck on Fire Island, Dorothy Daniels show us what happens when a woman finally embraces her superiority.
A satire of early foodieism, a critique of how gender is defined, & a showcase of virtuoso storytelling, Chelsea G. Summers' A Certain Hunger introduces us to the food world's most charming psychopath & an exciting new voice in fiction.
