Culturally straddling Old World traditions and the hedonistic freedoms of the New World, Eugene grew up confused, anxious and chubby. His dominating mother instilled in him the drive to prove himself, though his innate laziness meant that he wouldn’t drive too fast. As a teenager in the 1970s, trying to embrace the hippy lifestyle, he began asking life’s Big Questions. As an adult, when he’d lost all ambition and given up on the Big Answers, his life-long love of food and constant criticism of his table manners led him to become a restaurant reviewer. However, frustrated with eating establishments turning the tables on him and reviewing him instead, Eugene recently put his cheesecake where his mouth is and opened a café of his own in an extremely cool part of Melbourne.
Harvey Shmidlap Seeks the Perfect Cheesecake is his life’s work, such as it is. His life, that is, not the novel. The novel is brilliant.vizualizați mai puține
