Review
When the history of modern prose in English comes to be written, Sybille Bedford will have to appear in any list of its most dazzling practitioners. --Bruce Chatwin
Bedford's ability to recreate landscape is matched only by her appetite for mouth-watering descriptions of exotic food . . . She cannot write a dull page. --Financial Times
Bedford writes of the lure of the sensual life, the picnics, lobster salad, hock and seltzer and going to the opera, in Italy, in summer . . . --The Times
Synopsis
Matchless essays on wine, food, and travel by "our prize chronicler of sensuous experience."-- Times Literary Supplement . Sybille Bedford once wrote that "travel writing is inseparable from the writer's tastes, idiosyncrasies, and general temperament--it is what happens to him when he is confronted with a column, a bird, a sage, a cheat, a riot; wine, fruit, dirt; the delay in the dirt, the failing airplane." Pleasures and Landscapes is what happened to Mrs. Bedford when, at the peak of her literary powers, she traveled through France, Italy, and the rest of Europe for Vogue, Esquire , and other magazines --eight classic essays that secure her a place at the table with A. J. Liebling and M. F. K. Fisher.
