La.lit Volume 9

La.Lit

The Food Issue of La.Lit digs beyond the warm pleasure of food and into its inextricable roots in culture, like a craft of an artisan variety, honed over the centuries. With prose, fiction, poetry, and photography from all over the world, this issue serves food in the context of familial and local ties, of economy and lifestyle, of trades and occupations. We discover political and social revolutions through South Asia, Croatia, and even among the Nepali diaspora, in the way people interact with food. Amidst the mushrooming of fast-food and mass consumption, this issue brings us food, redolent of history.
