Food in Literature
Our contemporary time-saving lifestyles reflect food culture in urban spaces; for example, from supermarkets flooded with convenience foods, the sharp rise in fast food and takeaway consumption, to the thriving segment of food delivery by low-paid labourers trudging through the streets on bicycles with food in their backpacks.
In literature preparing and feasting on food and drink is worth its time – be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. It plays centre stage when conjuring great scenes. It also sets the reader’s mind in an evocative mood. Food in Literature depicts time-consuming moments well-spent on sheer divine insights on subject, social structures and lifestyle.
We will discuss a selection of literary scenes and reflect on our relationship to food culture in our discussion rounds on the topic of „Food in Literature“. We look forward to your participation!
