This Week’s Reading
For anyone who loves to read, or eat, or both, Anka Muhlstein’s terrific Balzac’s Omeletis a must: the historian takes on the evolution of food in fiction—specifically Balzac’s—with results that I could (but won’t) call mouth-watering. I’m a total food-history nerd, but I don’t think you’d need to be to enjoy what’s ultimately a treatise on the making of modern French culture. —Sadie Stein
Fist bumps to David Chang and McSweeney’s for their new food magazine Lucky Peach. Naturally, the first issue is on ramen. —Cody Wiewandt
I’m anxiously awaiting the Los Angeles Review of Books’next installment of Mike Davis’s serial “The Ghost of Wrath,” an account of the deliciously evil original LA Timespublisher Harrison Gray Otis. —Ali Pechman
I’m from Ohio, but I’m not from Donald Ray Pollack’s Ohio. His new book and first novel, The Devil All the Time, is as scary as it is good. —C. W.

Were you one of those people who hated summer camp? Or were you the kind that really, really, really loved it? Slatehas a breakdown of the types. —T. L.
