Items related to The Taste of Man
Synopsis
One autumn in New York, a young Polish poet, studying literature, and a Brazilian anthropologist researching a new book, meet, fall in love and move into a tiny apartment together. Tereza has a lover waiting for her in Poland, Jose a wife and child in Sao Paulo, and it would seem this could only be the most temporary of affairs. Yet there emerges the mesmerizingly explicit portrait of a relationship conducted at the extreme edge of sensuality, defying conventional definition. With no common language, exiled from their culture, for each of them the body of the other becomes everything: spirituality, sustenance, almost unbearable pleasure. Breathtakingly erotic, intensely physical, profoundly intelligent, THE TASTE OF A MAN pursues a path traced by a love based on pure appetite with shameless and unflinching candour, to its ecstatic and terrible conclusion.

Review
Astonishingly sensuous ... a chilling exploration of erotic consumption ... engrossing SUNDAY TIMES Celebratory in tone, it is also a heartfelt, if unrepentant confession ... Drakulic does not disappoint NEW STATESMAN Ghastly in its purist sense; read it in the kitchen if you dare DAILY TELEGRAPH Just reading it made me feel guilty Maureen Freely, LITERARY REVIEW
