  • Our take on the An Extravagant Hunger : The Passionate Years of M.F.K. Fisher

    A biography of M.F.K. Fisher that concentrates on her years in Europe with her first husband, her divorce, and her remarriage to her second husband, whose suicide followed. It traces how that heartbreak and happiness fed her writing. It suits readers of literary biography and fans of Fisher's food essays who want the life behind them. It is a focused portrait of a formative period rather than a full cradle-to-grave life, so readers wanting complete coverage should look to a fuller biography.
