Estasi Culinarie (2000) - Plot & Excerpts

In the past month, having actually been on the Rue de grenelle and having heard someone talk about the Elegance of the Hedgehog (by the same author), I found this title and thought I'd try it. The main character is looking for that special taste before he dies.Well it was in chouquettes, which was special to me because that was something I was eating while I was in Paris right before I left. And I loved them so much that we bought the special pearl sugar for them and brought them home.Felt sorry for the family and the children, but the main character was not a nice person while he was alive. Must be that tradeoff of genius for empathy. Apres avoir lu le tres charmant "Elegance d'un hérisson", "La gourmandise" a été un deception. Ce roman raconte la vie and la mort d'un critique culinaire brilliante. Notre protagoniste qui est arrogant et superficiel ne suscitent pas le moindre sympathie du lecteur. Le tir de l'auteur est très juste et souvent tres comique mais le sujet me laisse entierement indifférent.Heureuse on peut constater que la Gourmandise est le premier roman de Muriel Barbery qui a fait un énorme saut en avant avec son deuxième. J'attends avec impatience un troisieme de Barbery qui nous fait attendre. Si elle continue sur la lancée de L'Elegance ce sera un chef d'oeuvre.
