Bon-Bon by Edgar Allan Poe

lee_foust's review against another edition

4.0

This humorous tale begins as a kind of spin-off of Rabelais' blending of food and text, as the portrait of a French chef-philosopher, who then has a tipsy-to-drunken conversation with His Majesty, the Devil. The surprise ending is totally worth the wait--and the wait is mildly entertaining and quite witty as well.

Olvidable con ganas. Que esté bien escrito es lo único que lo salva de esa conversación tan inconsecuente entre Bon-Bon y el visitante.
