Phantom Pain
Arnon Grunberg
Once a literary novelist of some respectability, now brought low by the double insult of obscurity and debt, Robert G. Mehlman is a man in need of money and recognition, fast. So he turns to cookery writing. 'Phantom Pain' consists largely of the bitterly funny but unpublished manuscript of Mehlman's autobiography.
