<p><b>A new essay collection by the Philip K. Dick of chips</b></p><p>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, <i>Eaten Back to Life</i> renders in delirious prose the ecstasies and absurdities that lie beneath the daily business of feeding ourselves.</p><p>'This collection [is] a must for the reader who likes to play with their food, conceptually, as well as eat it.”<b>—<i>Montreal Review of Books</i></b></p><p>“If food writing today is becoming increasingly blog-like, then Campbell is leaving his self-focused compatriots in the dust.”<b>—<i>The Coast</i></b></p>
