AUDREY'S ONE-SENTENCE BOOK REVIEWS
"So what if you make a mistake? No one is filming your errors. I invent them in the inspiration of the moment, and I can never repeat them– which is why you won't find mine here."
I love this style of nonfiction, almost a scrapbook of art, literature, history, culture, and personal experience, together composing a collage which depicts a world where food is more than just sustenance (that said, elements of the text & design date this as an artifact of the mid-90s; I would love to read an updated anniversary edition).
