Join Books & Banter for a discussion on this month’s pick, Consider the Oyster by M.F.K. Fisher. This book explores the history, preparation, and enjoyment of oysters, blending culinary writing with personal anecdotes and philosophical musings on pleasure, resilience, and the human condition. Despite being written during a dark time in her life, Fisher writes with joy, wit, and optimism, focusing on finding pleasure in food.
As a short, conversational, and highly readable work, it serves as an excellent introduction to food literature that can be finished in one sitting.
Bring your thoughts and feelings on the book to share on Sunday, May 10. Don’t worry if you didn’t finish the book, you’re still welcome to join us for a lively discussion and plenty of banter!
