Reseña del editor:
From the author of "Much Depends on Dinner" and "The Rituals of Dinner" comes a collection of essays in which Visser, a self-described "anthropologist of everyday life", analyzes the patterns of modern living. She taps into our very modern fascination with our origins, eccentricities, and foibles: what constitutes an initiation rite in our society?; why are we so squeamish about eating offal?; what are we to make of the Easter Bunny (a male rodent that produces eggs)?; and what are the unsavoury implications of Santa Claus? Each one of a wide variety of ordinary objects and typical behavioural habits is made to yield up its evidence about our society, and how we developed in this way. Visser leaves us with a portrait of ourselves, and forces us to think about what exactly it means to be modern.
Biografía del autor:
Margaret Visser writes on history, anthropology, and the mythology of everyday life. Her books, which include The Gift of Thanks, Much Depends on Dinner (which won a Glenfiddich Prize for the Food Book of the Year), The Way We Are, and The Geometry of Love, have all been bestsellers, and The Rituals of Dinner won the International Association of Culinary Professionals' Literary Food Writing Award and the Jane Grigson Award. A Professor of Classics for 18 years, she now lives in Toronto and the south of France.
