This book is a collection of eight of Lu Wenfu's works. 'The Gourmet', voted best novella of 1984, describes in minute detail the vicissitudes of a glutton before and after Liberation in 1949 and through the chaotic years of the 'Cultural Revolution'. The story also provides a glimpse of Suzhou's famous cuisine and a flavor of life in this 'heaven on eaarth'.
About Author
Lu Wenfu (March 23, 1927 - July 9, 2005) is a contemporary Chinese writer. He was interested in literature from an early age and devoted all his life into it. He worked for many years as journalist and a magazine editor and served as president of the Jiangsu Writers' Association and vice president of the Chinese Writers' Association. Lu's life ended in Suzhou, his favorite city in Jiangsu province. All his work is a mirror of this old city and that's why his novels are generally regarded as Suzhou literature. He is famous for his first story Deep within a Lane. From then on, Lu started producing a lot of fictions and essays.
