Just got a copy of “Taste, that Temptation” I illustrated for Nikebooks in Korea. The book focuses on the “rich hints and symbols hidden in the food of books” that can be easily missed by readers. The book is a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the authors knowledge and interpretation of the food used as metaphorical tools that define the characters in each work and reflect political, social and cultural characteristics of the time and place. The cover references Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. Lots of other great and diverse literature are included in the book, Emma, The Great Gatsby, The Vegetarian..
