BOOK OF THE DAY: "The Telling Room. A tale of Love, Betrayal, Revenge, and the World's Greatest Piece of Cheese".
OK, who's looking for a WONDERFUL book?
Can I please highly recommend this one? My dear friend Michael Paterniti (with whom I used to work at GQ Magazine) has just published this beautiful, elegiac, wandering, passionate memoir which is about…well…Love, Betrayal, Revenge, and the World's Greatest Piece of Cheese.
I think Michael is one of the best writer's we've got in American at the moment, and I would read anything he wrote.

It's also about food, about grace, about dreams, about family, about history, about the stubborn ways in which a few people in the world absolutely refuse to accept modernity.
After I read it, I wanted to move to Spain.
That's all I'm saying.
Except that it comes HIGHLY recommended!
With love,
Liz
