*** Liar's Luck ***
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/06/books/review/the-ballad-of-a-small-player-by-lawrence-osborne.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=0>
Tom Shone, New York Times


> “The Ballad of a Small Player” forgoes Osborne’s gifts of social satire but retains his sense of dread and gift for gimlet-eyed metaphor: that old crone’s face “like an overripe peach, furred and uneven”; a gambler on his way to the table “like a raccoon on its way to a Dumpster”; a casino interior like “some Hans Christian Andersen fairy palace imagined by a small child with a high fever.” That’s not a bad description of the book itself, a vivid and feverish portrait of a soul in self-inflicted purgatorio.




*** David Chang’s Kitchen: Don’t Get All “Fresh” With Me ***

David Chang, GQ


> No dining experience is more associated with the concept of freshness than sushi: If the notoriously squeamish American diner is to consider eating raw fish, that fish had better be fresh. But the truth is, sushi’s not great because it’s fresh. It’s great because it’s actually sort of rotten.
