Description

"Any discussion of the great masters of American English must include the writing of M. F. K. Fisher. Here, for the first time, is assembled a generous selection of the books from throughout her career, arranged chronologically.". "Whether reflecting on her father's affinity for the underdog or bravely navigating the trials of old age, Fisher's candor and wit are vigorous and infectious. Tales of travel, childhood memories, recipes massacred and perfected, meditations on World War II, and thoughts on cataract surgery - the range of stories on her palette is surprising and original."--BOOK JACKET.
