LANCHESTER JOHN:

The Debt to Pleasure

London, Macmillan , 1996 First Edition. The author was at the time of publication the Deputy Editor of the London Review of books, and this is his first book. For once I agree with the jacket of this book which states "Poisonously funny and opinionated, Tarquin travels from despised England through Brittany to his beloved Midi, as his mediations on North and South, HP Sauce and garlic, the raw and the cooked, creation and imagination, art and violence move towards their sublime conclusion. A great read. Inscription on dedication page, other wise in new and unused condition. 8vo., pp232, cloth in d/w. FINE

The Debt to Pleasure

New York, US: Henry Holt and Company, 1996. First US. Hardback copy. 251pp. ISBN: 0805043888. Octavo. First US edition. Quarter cloth glossy pictorial boards in tan die-cut dj. Signed by the author on the title page. Winner of the Whitbread Best First Novel Award. Narrated by Tarquin, an ironist, epicurean and a snob, «The Debt to Pleasure» is constructed around a series of seasonal menus, which unfold his memoir. First book by a former restaurant critic of the «Observer». "«The Debt to Pleasure» is Lanchester's first novel, but the poise of the book makes this hard to believe. It offers all kinds of pleasures, and creates corresponding debts, some more easily accounted for than others....It would be a shame to describe the unfolding of the plot, since it is a thing of beauty in its devious self."
