About This Item
Vintage, 1983. Softcover. Very Good. 5x0x8. Written in her fine prosaic style as a series of vignettes, this rewarding book recounts the life and adventures of respected writer Mary Fisher during her travels in America and Europe. The events are filled with wonderful details of people, places, foods, and thoughts, through decades of her life. Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher was a prolific and well-respected writer, writing more than 20 books during her lifetime and also publishing two volumes of journals and correspondence shortly before her death in 1992. Her first book, Serve it Forth, was published in 1937. Her books deal primarily with food, considering it from many aspects: preparation, natural history, culture, and philosophy. Fisher believed that eating well was just one of the arts of life and explored the art of living as a secondary theme in her writing. Her style and pacing are noted elements of her short stories and essays.
