520 1 $a"In the heart of Paris, in the posh residence made famous in The Elegance of the Hedgehog, the world's greatest food critic is dying. Revered by some and reviled by many, Pierre Arthens has been lording over renowned chefs for years, deciding their fates with a stroke of his pen, destroying and building reputations on a whim. But now, during his final hours, his thoughts have turned to humbler things. He is desperately searching for that singular flavor, that divine something once sampled, never forgotten, the Flavor par excellence. Indeed, this flamboyant and self-absorbed man wishes for only one thing before he dies: one last taste." "Thus begins a charming voyage that traces the career of Monsieur Arthens from childhood to maturity across a celebration of all manner of culinary delights. Alternating with the voice of the supercilious Arthens is a chorus belonging to his acquaintances and familiars - relatives, lovers, a would-be protege, even a cat. Each will have his or her say about Arthens, a man who has only ever inspired extreme emotions in people. Here, as in The Elegance of the Hedgehog, Muriel Barbery's story celebrates life's simple pleasures and sublime moments while condemning the arrogance and vulgarity of power."--BOOK JACKET.
