The first English translation of F. T. Marinetti's 1932 Futurist manifesto on food, translated by Suzanne Brill with an introduction by Lesley Chamberlain. It mixes essays, polemics, accounts of Futurist banquets and over a hundred deliberately outlandish recipes and themed menus. These proposals involve odd ingredient pairings, eating without cutlery, appealing to touch and smell, and a famous campaign against pasta. It will suit readers interested in Futurism, avant-garde art and the history of food more than anyone wanting practical recipes.

The book has some light marks and scuffing on the back cover, with light rubbing to the edges and corners, while the front cover and spine remain bright and the copyright page shown is clean. See photos
