Through short stories Thanh-Van Tran-Nhut tells of her
childhood memories, focusing on her fondness of sweet things and colorful food:
redolent soup stalls in Hue, polychrome delights in a hippie-bedecked campus of
Michigan, vivid culinary discoveries in a village in France, as well as
incursions into the subtile cuisine of T’ang China and seventeenth century Viet-Nam. Aphrodisiac
secrets usher in amusingly cruel tales, while fanciful snacks follow a lavish historical
banquet given on the eve of the Renaissance.
 with Chantal Pelletier, chief editor |
The short story Pique-assiette, translated by William Rodarmor, appears in his book French Feast: A Traveler's Literary
Companion (Whereabouts Press, June 2011).
