Description
New York City is obsessed with food. Especially in the streets of The Quarter, every imaginable delicacy is made and devoured, every unspeakable hunger is fulfilled.
Talia, a recent divorcee, comes to The Quarter to be reborn. She discovers fresh purpose in the sensual pleasures there, and a possible new love. But eventually she finds herself face to face with the darkness under its surface-in both the privileged patrons who feast there, and the third-world laborers who feed them.
Now Talia must separate the truth from the madness because in The Quarter, the haves and have-nots are about to face a reckoning.
"Utterly absorbing...It's a wild feast for the senses that reads as if Margaret Atwood and Gordon Ramsay met in a kitchen somewhere to cook up this story together."-Stephanie Storey, author of Oil and Marble: A Novel of Leonardo and Michelangelo
"A startling, seductive story voiced by a complex heroine, sage in its subversive candor and nuanced treatment of our time of plenty."-Ilan Mochari, author of Zinsky the Obscure
"Delman guides us like a culinary Virgil through a surreal inferno exposing our contemporary culture of indulgence."-Joshua Gaylord, author of When We Were Animals
