Hunger Like a Thirst: From Food Stamps to Fine Dining, a Restaurant Critic Finds Her Place at the Table

A James Beard Award-winning writer who has contributed to nearly all of the leading publications in the US and her native Australia, Besha Rodell offers here a trenchant and thoughtful memoir of her years as an outsider critic.
Instead of chronicling Rodell’s career for you here–the book will do that tidily enough—we’ll say that Rodell writes with crisp verve and a frankness which give this memoir a momentum that is wholly consistent with the quotations from her journalism.
She asks good questions about restaurants and writing, about presentation and reality, about money and talent, about America and Australia and just about anywhere else. Food is clearly not the only realm in which she is observant and thoughtful.
