When we hear that writer Mark Kurlansky is coming our way with a new book, we're never sure which of his many enthusiasms he'll bring with him—but we're there because who can resist? This time he's writing fiction in which Oragnina plays a role ... as does Red Sea Salt, Osetra caviar, tofu, and baseball, all part of Edible Stories: A Novel in Sixteen Parts (Riverhead). Here he treats food as a point of entry into human relationships, memory, identity, and aesthetic experience. "A delicious and delectable novel by an award-winning food writer that leaves you wanting more." - Kirkus Reviews. Mark Kurlansky's many other books include Salt: A World History, Cod, Nonviolence: The History of a Dangerous Idea, The Food of a Younger Land, and the more recent, The Eastern Stars: How Baseball Changed the Dominican Town of San Pedfro de Macorís.
