Orlando Crispe's Flesh-Eater's Cookbook

Rating:
Summary: Consumption
Review: Connected to Madsen's previous book "Confessions of a Flesh-eater", "Orlando Crispe's Flesh-eater's Cookbook" is a hodgepodge of recipes, culinary activities, memories, and dining experiences. Crispe is a famous chef, whose culinary art has intriguing effects on those who consume it. Using all sorts of meats in his dishes (including human flesh and juices), Crispe documents and reminisces about his friends and acquaintances. It's all rather fascinating, but not having read "Confessions", I was quite lost, like it was all a private joke I was missing out on. Nonetheless, this is an interesting addition to such cannibalistic fiction as Virgilio Piñera's "René's Flesh", Slavenka Drakulic's "The Taste of a Man", and Poppy Brite's "Exquisite Corpse".
