«The Debt to Pleasure» is John Lanchester's black comedy novel, published by Picador in paperback (231 pages, in English).
Tarquin Winot, hedonist, food obsessive and snob, narrates his journey from Portsmouth to his house in Provence through a series of seasonal menus. What seems a refined cookbook gradually becomes tinged with irony and a sinister unease, until revealing a much darker purpose.
Originally published in 1996, it won the Whitbread First Novel Award, the Hawthornden Prize and the Betty Trask Award.
For readers of literary fiction and mystery who appreciate black humor and foodie stories.
John Henry Lanchester is a British journalist and novelist.
