ADAM GNADE: After Tonight, Everything Will Be Different
A food novel — each chapter built around a meal. San Diego, late 1990s: taco shops, beach apartments, the boardwalk at 3am, cars heading south to Tijuana. Young people contending with hard drugs and deep depression, and the food that marks every moment of it. Deli sandwiches, burritos, box brownies, rolled tacos — ordinary things made inseparable from the pain and joy of being alive.
Compared to Trainspotting and Like Water for Chocolate, and described as "raging, ecstatic, troubled" in the tradition of Proust. After Tonight, Everything Will Be Different is not snobbish food writing — it's the opposite.
