I liked these short stories which all center around food and love. Each story was like a little snack - a pastry with a surprisingly savory filling. ( ) Vapnyars Broccoli and Other Tales of Food and Love bevat zes korte verhalen, die net als in haar eerder verschenen verhalenbundel en roman handelen over Oost-Europese immigranten in het land van belofte, de Verenigde Staten. Vapnyar schrijft weer over heimwee naar dat wat je hebt achtergelaten en de de moeite die het wennen aan het nieuwe leven kost en de onzekerheid die dit proces oproept. Lees verder op deze pagina van mijn boekenblog. This book of short stories from Russian immigran, Lara Vapnyar, is filled with delectable food descriptions as well as characters that exemplifiy the Russian immigrant condition. Vapnyar came from Russia in 1993. She has developed a delightful command of English in fifteen years. Her first collection of stories won several awards and this book seems equally noteworthy. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Each of Lara Vapnyar's six stories invites us into a world where food and love intersect, along with the overlapping pleasures and frustrations of Vapnyar's uniquely captivating characters. Meet Nina, a recent arrival from Russia, for whom colorful vegetables represent her own fresh hopes and dreams . . . Luda and Milena, who battle over a widower in their English class with competing recipes for cheese puffs, spinach pies, and meatballs . . . and Sergey, who finds more comfort in the borscht made by a paid female companion than in her sexual ministrations. They all crave the taste and smell of home, wherever--and with whomever--that may turn out to be. A roundup of recipes are the final taste of this delicious collection.
