Liquor: A Novel, by Poppy Z. Brite; Three Rivers Press, 2004 Reviewed by Peter Gritt
Cult horror novelist Poppy Z. Brite's book Liquor: A Novel, features the experiences and many obstacles facing two young men--"foodies"--who attempt to open a gourmet restaurant in New Orleans. The restaurant's entire menu features alcohol in one form or another, blending culinary passion with Big Easy politics and lots of intrigue. If you are an artist-at-heart, and love to dabble in oil pastels, take a look at Oil Pastel, by Ken Leslie. This is a very informative book for beginners and experienced artists alike, offering plenty of good tips in the use of this medium. Author Paul Theroux serves up another great travelogue--this time in Kawloon Tong, which involves the Chinese takeover of Hong Kong. I have read all of Theroux's books in our library, and truly appreciate his "non-sugar coated" approach to travel.
