This was an inventive and experimental novel, Lanchester's debut, the story of Tarquin Winot, a snobbish Francophile food connoisseur. It is told in the form of Winot's narrative description of various menus, through which he gradually reveals his past, and the fact that he might not be all that he at first seems.
Enjoyable, without entirely blowing me away.
