Marni Kessler will host a virtual event with the University of Kansas Hall Center for the Humanities and the Lawrence Public Library on Wednesday, April 28 at 7:30 p.m. for a discussion of her new book, Discomfort Food: The Culinary Imagination in Late Nineteenth-Century French Art as part of the Meet KU s Authors series. In Discomfort Food, scholar Marni Reva Kessler trains her inquisitive eye on the depictions of food in nineteenth-century French art. Arguing that disjointed senses of anxiety, nostalgia, and melancholy underlie the superficial abundance in works by Manet, Degas, and others, Kessler shows how, in their images, food presented a spectrum of pleasure and unease associated with modern life.
