Sinopsis

In "Plum Pudding: Of Divers Ingredients, Discreetly Blended & Seasoned," Christopher Morley crafts a delightful culinary and literary feast, melding essay, humor, and memoir into a rich tapestry. Morley's prose is whimsical yet introspective, reflecting the style of early 20th-century American literature, where the personal often intertwines with broader cultural commentary. In this work, he explores not just the act of cooking but the deeper connections food creates among people, revealing how communal meals serve as a proxy for societal interactions and values of the time. The book unfolds through a series of vignettes infused with wit and nostalgia, providing a unique lens on the culinary landscape of the era. Christopher Morley, an influential writer and journalist, was deeply engaged with the literary and social currents of his time. His experiences in New York's vibrant culture, alongside his personal passion for gastronomy, informed his writing. A co-founder of the "The Bookman," Morley was immersed in a milieu that celebrated storytelling, making him a perfect conduit for exploring the intersections of food, literature, and human experience. "Plum Pudding" is a charming odyssey that will resonate with food enthusiasts, literary lovers, and anyone interested in the intimate connection between cooking and culture. Morley's engaging narrative not only captivates but also invites readers to reflect on their own culinary adventures and the stories they carry.

    Tommy West is the finest Elvis Presley tribute in the North West of England. At least, that’s what is says on his van. 
    Off stage however, his life is a mess. He can’t pay his rent, his child maintenance is crippling him, and his old Bedford needs new tyres. Tommy is broke, drinks too much Guinness, smokes too much weed and is frightened of his own shadow. 
    So, as Tommy is such a delicate soul, you may ask why, on the first day of lockdown, he finds himself on his way to Folkstone in a borrowed fruit and veg van in the company of a psychotic Rangers fan, a sex starved blonde, a cross dressing navigator and an Afghan slave? 
    Why indeed? 
    All Shook Up is an irreverent look at modern life and pokes a rather sharp stick at political correctness in all its forms.
