by Anthony Bourdain
Bourdain's breezy essay on Mary Mallon is less factual than speculative, more of a pensee focused on cooks' employment and circumstances than a biography or social history. Some of his assertions are a stretch, and others are factually incorrect. It could have used a good edit for accurate content ...
Read this book before I realized who the hell Anthony Bourdain was. I knew when reading it that it was written well and it didn't make me want to fall asleep, it was interesting and I learned a lot about the woman and the epidemic.
I read this book with faith that the book would pick up, that the plot wouldthicken, that, at least, everything would come together at the end.None of these happened for me.The earth did not move.I would rate TM a 1: don't waste your time.
