We eagerly await SALMAGUNDI’s new issue to arrive from the printer — our fall 2024 issue is devoted to the subject of TASTE, tackling issues not only aesthetic and culinary but political and psychological. Contents include a lively and contentious symposium on why taste does (or doesn’t) matter, and articles on a taste for the forbidden, on dramatic changes in our tolerance (or appetite) for particular experiences or artworks, and on the relationship of food to other aspects of the culture. Contributors include Rick Moody, Ian Buruma, Michael Gorra, Celeste Marcus, Willard Spiegelman, David Herman (on Martin Amis) Jay Rogoff (on Fred Astaire), Gorman Beauchamp (Art and Morality) and Matthew Straus (a chef in the anthropocene).
Plus Patrick J. Keane remembers Helen Vendler, Daniel Helpern has lunch with Genet, Charlotte Allen considers the films of Yorgos Lanthimos, Robert Boyers complicates the idea of Asian art, David Bromberg writes from Jerusalem and Martin Jay ruminates on American Fiction.
