I'm now interested in contemprary American food, so I chose this book.
Title: Food and culture in contemporary in American fiction
Author:Lorna Piatti-Farmell
Year of publication: 2011
Establishing an interdisciplinary connection between Food Studies and American literary scholarship, Piatti-Farnell investigates the significances of food and eating in American fiction, from 1980 to the present day. She argues that culturally-coded representations of the culinary illuminate contemporary American anxieties about class gender, race, tradition, immigration, nationhood, and history.
