Title : The Lonely Gourmet - Masayuki Kusumi, Jiro Taniguchi - book

Summary :

We know almost nothing about him. He works in commerce, but he is not a man in a hurry; he loves women, but prefers to live alone; he is a gastronome, but he appreciates above all the simple cuisine of working-class neighborhoods... This man is the solitary gourmet. Conceived by Masayuki Kusumi, this unusual character comes to life under the pen of Jirô Taniguchi, in a narrative style close to The Walking Man: each story thus leads him to taste a typically Japanese dish, bringing back buried memories, emerging new thoughts or sparking furtive encounters. Thus, a visit to a sushi bar in the middle of the afternoon makes him see the innocent housewives who frequent the place in a different light, or he becomes aware, during the baseball game, of the invigorating virtues of curry... The solitary gourmet is a choice dish in Taniguchi's work.
