Publisher Description Britney Spears loathes meatloaf and "all lumpy stuff." Arturo Toscanini hated fish. Ayn Rand despised salads. Alexander Therouxs Einsteins Beets is a study of the world of food and food aversions. The novelist and poet probes the secret and mysterious attitudes of hundreds of people mostly famous and well-known toward eating and dining out, hilariously recounting tales of confrontation and scandalous alienation: it contains gossip, confession, embarrassment, and perceptive observations. 08 02 "Does the world need an 800-page book on food phobias, as well as dislikes, simple preferences, aversions, obsessions, squeamishness, food fetishes, fixations, fashions, snobbery, and inverted snobbery? Simple answer: Damn right it does and with Theroux at the helm, you cant help wondering why it wasnt a thousand, two thousand pages long." Author Biography Alexander Theroux is an award-winning novelist, poet, and teacher whose prose works include Laura Warholic or, The Sexual Intellectual, Estonia, and the two artist monographs The Strange Case of Edward Gorey and The Enigma of Al Capp. His novel Darconvilles Cat was chosen by Anthony Burgess as one of the 99 greatest post-war novels.
