Gilles | Lartigot Eat.pdf !!exclusive!!

While the brutality of food grounds the text in the physical, the emotional core of Eat lies in its exploration of memory. For Lartigot, food is the primary archive of his personal history. He posits that taste is the most faithful historian; while the mind forgets dates and names, the palate remembers the exact salinity of a sea bass eaten on a specific beach in 1998.
