 · Overview. A sumptuous, scintillating stew of sixty four short fictions about appetite, food, and the objects of our desire. All great meals, it has been said, lead to discussions of either sex or death, and The Devil's Larder, in typical Cracean fashion, leads to both. Here are sixty four short fictions of at times Joycean beauty--about schoolgirls hunting for razor clams in the strand; or searching for soup Book Edition: First Edition. Jim Crace, the British author of Quarantine and Being Dead, takes on the challenge of writing fiction about food in his latest work, The Devil's Larder. Crace is a writer with a distinctive vision and, true to form, The Devil's Larder is unorthodox both in its structure and its approach to its subject. It is neither a novel nor, properly speaking, a collection of short stories. THE DEVIL'S LARDER is a cumulative novel in sixty-four parts, all on the subject of food. Crace's readers might learn that little is to be trusted about food from these hilarious, delightful and subversive ingredients, but they will encounter a startling and touching patchwork portrait of a community where meals are served with lashings of passion and recipes come spiced with unexpected challenges and /5(34).

In The Devil's Larder, Jim Crace has put together an odd and artful little volume that encompasses more of the human experience than it really ought to, given its size and scope. Crace presents us with 64 short fictions about food, which add up to a picture of life that is at once diabolical and innocent, creepily sexualized and free of judgment. The Devil's Larder. by. Jim Crace. · Rating details · ratings · 76 reviews. A sumptuous, scintillating stew of sixty four short fictions about appetite, food, and the objects of our desire. All great meals, it has been said, lead to discussions of either sex or death, and The Devil's Larder, in typical Cracean fashion, leads to both. Crace prefaces these untitled pieces with a tantalizing pseudo-biblical epigraph including the orotund declaration, “Nor is there honey in the devil’s larder.” Then he treats us to freely ranging anecdotes (some a single paragraph, none more than a half-dozen pages) that dramatize with terse wit the exigencies of appetite and custom as expressed in both seemingly realistic and expressly parabolic terms.
