by Gael Greene Insatiable, the memoirs of Gael Greene - restaurant critic - is absolutely delectable. Her life is so interesting and sexy - encounters with food and sex both interesting, both erotic. She drops names (Elvis is one of them) and she makes her life seem fantastic and glamorous when at times it wasn't, which she attests to. Her writing could best be described as a dessert with layers of sweet and tart jellies; it is deep and complex and descriptive. I loved the combination of wit and wisdom when she talked of life experiences. I really would recommend this to anyone who loves lavish and exciting stories and when you do pick this up you realize it is real. One word to describe this is wow. She has had an amazing life. It's sometimes hard to find the time to sit in front of a CD-player, but this one made me want to live by the CD-player. I couldn't wait to hear what was next, who she would talk about or what food she would experience. It was exciting and sad at times, and almost voyeuristic - I felt I was listening in on private conversations and even more private experiences at times. This is the type of book-on-CD that would make a transcontinental flight fly by. |
