{"product_id":"blood-on-the-table-jean-anderson-9781476671758","title":"Blood on the Table: Essays on Food in International Crime Fiction","description":"\u003cp\u003e Written from a multicultural and interdisciplinary perspective, this collection of new essays explores the semiotics of food in the 20th- and 21st-century crime fiction of authors such as Anthony Bourdain, Arthur Upfield, Sara Paretsky, Andrea Camilleri, Fred Vargas, Ruth Rendell, Stieg Larsson, Leonardo Padura, Georges Simenon, Paco Ignacio Taibo II, and Donna Leon. The collection covers a range of issues, such as the provision of intra-, peri- or paratextual recipes, the aesthetics and ethics of food, eating rituals as indications of cultural belonging, and regional, national and supranational identities. It also tackles eating disorders and other seemingly abnormal habits as signs of \"Otherness.\" Also mentioned are the television productions of the Inspector Montalbano series (1999-ongoing), the Danish-Swedish \u003ci\u003eBron\/Broen\u003c\/i\u003e (2011, \u003ci\u003eThe Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e), and its remakes \u003ci\u003eThe Tunnel\u003c\/i\u003e (2013, France\/UK) and \u003ci\u003eThe Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e (2013, USA).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476671753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476671758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Jean Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518586073343,"sku":"9781476671758","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88546a80-53d7-49a4-9a63-8bd46a1c0700.jpg?v=1778734873","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blood-on-the-table-jean-anderson-9781476671758","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
