About This Item
North Point Press, 1991. First edition. Hardcover. Like New/Fine. 5x0x8. Infused with her trademark grace and sly wit, Fisher's The Boss Dog chronicles an American mother's year abroad with her two daughters in Aix-en-Provence. Part memoir, part fiction, this extraordinary adventure is presided over by an aloof and proprietary mongrel, the Boss Dog, who leads them through the town and reveals to them all its riches. Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher (July 3, 1908 - June 22, 1992) was an American food writer. She was a founder of the Napa Valley Wine Library. Over her lifetime she wrote 27 books, including a translation of The Physiology of Taste by Brillat-Savarin. Fisher believed that eating well was just one of the "arts of life" and explored this in her writing. W. H. Auden once remarked, "I do not know of anyone in the United States who writes better prose.
