My literary tastings: Smell and taste in writers | Poupon Pierre

This work by a great connoisseur brilliantly complements a work partly dedicated to placing fine wines on a par with works of art.

Pierre Poupon is so passionate about his profession, so imbued with his methods, that he applies his tasting reflexes and flair to the selection and reading of books.

Thus, the seven writers (Fénelon, Baudelaire, Huysmans, Anna de Nouailles, Thibaudet, Colette, and Giono) that he subjected to long and enjoyable tastings appear to us in a new light that makes them more lively, more human, closer to nature.

Reading Pierre Poupon also arouses in us the desire to smell and taste them. This is a way of reading that will appeal to all gastronomes and all lovers of wines or books.
