For more than twenty years, he has also been writing some of the best essays on food around, now collected in a volume that caused the Santa Fe New Mexican to exclaim: To read this book is to come away convinced that Harrison is a flat-out genius -- one who devours life with intensity, living it roughly and full-scale, then distills his experiences into passionate, opinionated prose. Food, in this context, is more than food: It is a metaphor for life. From his legendary Smart and Esquire columns, to present-day pieces including a correspondence with French gourmet Gerard Oberle, fabulous pieces on food in France and America for Men's Journal, and a paean to the humble meatball, \u003ci\u003eThe Raw and the Cooked\u003c\/i\u003e is a nine-course meal that will satisfy every appetite. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOur 'poet laureate of appetite' [Harrison] may be, but the collected essays here reflect much more. -- John Gamino, \u003ci\u003eThe Dallas Morning News\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e[A] culinary combo plate of Hunter S.
