The Debt to Pleasure
a novel
Book • 1996
The Debt to Pleasure is a wickedly funny and skilful novel narrated by Tarquin Winot, a loquacious Englishman who shares his thoughts on cuisine during a mysterious journey around France.
What begins as an appealing gastronomic memoir gradually unveils the narrator as a monstrous, erudite villain through increasingly shocking revelations.
Winner of the Whitbread First Novel Award, Hawthornden Prize, and Julia Child Award for literary food writing, it has been translated into 20 languages.
