The Devil's Larder is a novel in 64 parts, exploring our deepest human concerns - love, hate, hopes and desires - through our relationship with food.
Packed with delightful and subversive ingredients, with behaviour more suited to the bedroom than to the table, and with the most curious and idiosyncratic of diners, this is a sensuous portrait of a community where meals are served with lashings of passion and recipes come spiced with unexpected challenges and hopes.
Jim Crace is the author of Continent, The Gift of Stones, Arcadia, Signals of Distress, Quarantine (1998 Whitbread Novel of the Year; shortlisted for the Booker Prize), Being Dead (2001 National Book Critics Circle Award), The Devil's Larder, Six and The Pesthouse. His novels have been translated into 26 languages. In 1999 Jim Crace was elected to the Royal Society of Literature.
