Book review: Adam Roberts' Food Person is a lip-smacking good time
By Adam Roberts
Fiction/Hutchinson Heinemann/Hardcover/320 pages/$34.95
Midway through the novel Food Person, protagonist Isabella Pasternack goes shopping. Her jaunt through this garden of earthly delights begins with a stop at a voguish fashion boutique, where she trades 10-year-old ratty jeans, a moth-bitten sweater and holey sneakers for a 'positively diaphanous' silk maxi dress.
