Review Snippet: "Oh, this was a fabulous book, and it gives me an excuse to create a “cannibalism” category. It’s one of those books that is the exception that proves the rule. Hansen tells without showing and 90% of the book comes from the protagonist’s one-sided conversation with a man called Louis, both of which are in chapter one of What Not to Do When You Write a Novel, but Hansen gets away with it. Why André’s conversation is one-sided is one of those things I cannot reveal lest I utterly spoil the book. In fact, this is going to be a bear to discuss because I cannot reveal many plot elements without just ruining the book.

Bearing that in mind, here’s as brief a synopsis as my enthusiasm will permit: Aboard the good ship l’Arche, along the coast of an island called Cristobo, André and his partner Marko have been engaging in questionable culinary behaviors. One is that they serve unusual meats to millionaires. They lure in jaded millionaires with offerings like giraffe, dining aboard the ship in monied secrecy. But André and Marko also have an ulterior motive catering to millionaires – millionaires evidently make good eating and André embraces the idea of eating the rich. But millionaires also have friends with ships and the L’Arche is under siege as André and Marko scramble to find a way to escape. Louis, a long-time frenemy of André’s, plays a crucial role in all these goings-on but that’s where I have to stop. To discuss his role will expose too much of the story." ( )

The superb game dishes are prepared fresh on the spot, and feature actual produce if you so desire at the exclusive floating bistro, L'Arche. Chef Andre serves a kick-ass Heiress Dissolu, Mock Oxtail Soup and Dessert Juste. My prestigious job as a reviewer and critic has given me the opportunity to eat many fancy-pants main courses in stuffy restaurants, all that cater to elite clients, but L'Arche is literally head and shoulders above the rest. Call me low-class for eating rare parts, but if you haven't yet tried millionaire testicles in cream sauce -- well, you just haven't lived. The aroma will make your mouth water. ( )
