"One can hardly call "Strange Gourmets" a sophisticated book, since on the embarrassing subject of itself sophistication has always been too cool for words. No, one must call it a "wildly" sophisticated book, uncultivated enough, for all its fine intelligence, to speak whereof it knows. Like some brilliant chef who incorporates weeds into highly composed salads, the author means not to disown, but to parade the intimacy between sophistication (his own included) and rawer forms of taste, disgust, perversity.
