- Authors
Gordon, Sarah
- Abstract
A literary criticism of books by Calixthe Beyala, which include "Loukoum: The Little Prince of Bellville," "Maman a un amant," and "Amour sauvage" is presented. It outlines the use of culinary images to portray differences of culture and identity. Beyala's book "How to Cook-up One's Husband African Style" is also discussed for its symbolic culinary imagery, which represents sexuality and seduction. Food is also used to represent gender and race issues.
