內容簡介

內容簡介 紐時及郵報等媒體一致好評桃樂絲有著貪婪且大膽的胃。童年時她享用在地田園的當令美食。成為美食評論家後，她更放縱自己的品味以至於將冰鑿戳進愛人的脖子。原來，人體是她心目中的究極美食。51歲的Dorothy Daniels是傑出的美食評論家，依賴著她獨特敏銳的味覺和勇於嘗試挑戰的精神，成為知名飲食雜誌的專欄作家和評論家，但她還有另一個興趣─「品嚐」男人，她喜歡去酒吧尋找衣著時髦好看的男性，邀請他們共度一晚，接著帶年輕男人去她的度假小屋享受一番後，她會拿出冰錐...戳進愛人的脖子，讓鮮血像巧克力噴泉一樣湧出。而她最近也開始對女人的滋味產生「品嚐」興趣…'Irresistable.' Megan Abbott'A gory, gorgeous feast of a book.' Kiran Millwood Hargrave'This book is crazy. You have to read it.' Bon AppetitDorothy Daniels has always had a voracious - and adventurous - appetite. From her idyllic farm-to-table childhood (homegrown tomatoes, thick slices of freshly baked bread) to the heights of her career as a food critic (white truffles washed down with Barolo straight from the bottle) Dorothy has never been shy about indulging her exquisite tastes - even when it lead to her plunging an ice pick into her lover's neck.There is something inside Dorothy that makes her different from everybody else. Something she's finally ready to confess. But beware: her story just might make you wonder how your lover would taste sautéed with shallots and mushrooms and deglazed with a little red wine.'An unapologetic, rollicking satire of one woman's insatiable appetite.' Irish Times'Thrilling and awful.' The Times'One of the most uniquely fun and campily gory books in my recent memory.' New York Times'Riotously funny and deliriously unhinged.' Refinery29READERS ARE DEVOURING A CERTAIN HUNGER:'Decadent, sleazy, visceral, disgusting. I can't believe this is a first novel.''If a female Hannibal starred in Orange is the New Black, it would give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from this novel. ... I could write pages about how much I loved this book but it would still not do it justice. Just read it!''This was everything I wanted from a book. Exciting, funny, gory, and most of all the absolutely exquisite writing.''I loved this book from beginning to end, it was dark, humorous and also made me a feel a little queasy in places!'"
