Eat a Peach is a 2020 book by American chef and television personality David Chang.[1][2]
Reception
[edit]Kirkus Reviews described Chang as "no slouch as a writer, with a style that features a refreshingly defiant attitude and some of the best inessential footnotes since A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius."[3] Bill Addison of the Los Angeles Times describes the book as "a timely read on several levels" and "blunt, often funny, questioning and critical of himself and the world".[4]
Eater's review of the book showed much more of the emotional burden of the book, writing: "Primarily, it wants to reframe Chang’s self-righteous anger, to bundle it up with his guilt, regrets, and ruminations, and to sell it back to the public as his pardon."[5]
