Eaten Back to Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781926743929)

A new essay collection by the Philip K. Dick of chips

In this series of thoughtful essays and stink-eyed observations,
Jonah Campbell explores food and drink in the modern world, from pig
heads and whisky to fine wine and French gastronomy, Nigella Lawson to
David Cronenberg, with a trail of potato chips and stale chocolate bars
along the way. In the tradition of writers like M. F. K. Fisher and
David Foster Wallace, Eaten Back to Life renders in delirious prose the ecstasies and absurdities that lie beneath the daily business of feeding ourselves.

"This collection [is] a must for the reader who likes to play with their food, conceptually, as well as eat it."--Montreal Review of Books

"If food writing today is becoming increasingly blog-like, then Campbell is leaving his self-focused compatriots in the dust."--The Coast
