Adam Gopnik
Adam Gopnik has spent much of his career thinking and writing about the complexity of modern life. Now, the award-winning essayist for The New Yorker who has won both the National Magazine Award and the George Polk Award turns his attention to food, and the results are delicious. Adam Gopnik’s, The Table Comes First: Family, France, and the Meaning of Food (Knopf, $25.95) weaves together the history, philosophy, and culture of eating as he points out that our manic compulsion with food has obscured a timeless truth: what goes on around the table is always more important than what’s on it. Spend a flavor-filled evening with Adam Gopnik as he discusses what The Atlantic calls “. . . history, nutrition, philosophy, anthropology, and sociology all rolled up into one delectable streusel of insight and illumination.”
