In this context, being asked to blurb a book is to say something short and sweet about a soon to be released book.
The book in question is A Meal Is A Meal By Nnamdi Anyadu and I was asked for a blurb by the Nigerian publisher of The Smoke That Thunders.
A Meal Is a Meal is a gothic collection of food-themed stories that comment on the human condition. In the titular story, a young woman lures and kills a love interest in order to host her cannibalistic family to a meal. In “Potluck Jollof”, a caterer is offended by her sisterhood’s depreciation of her culinary craft. She takes her revenge on them, sabotaging their potluck by serving jollof rice concocted in less than hygienic means.
Highlighting the varied myths, beliefs, superstitions and notions that surround the Nigerian culinary culture, A Meal Is a Meal is a journey into the surprising and the bizarre, as well as the tantalising and the delicious.
I completely enjoyed the stories and blurbed it as such.
