Einsteins Beets Hardcover Novel

"Who dislikes what foods and why? Novelist and poet Alexander Theroux probes the secret and mysterious attitudes of hundreds of people, mostly famous, in the matter of eating and dining out. Theroux's Einstein's Beets is an astonishingly original and monumental study on the enigmatic world of food and food aversions. Theroux explicates weird preoccupations of food and has penetrated the baffling, otherwise closed world of glaring food frights, phobias, and fixations."
