Rencontre avec François-Henri Désérable

Arun Kumar has an extraordinary palate and such an infallible memory for aromas that it borders on the miraculous. He intends to use this extraordinary gift as an instrument of revenge. The question is how—and against whom. From Delhi’s slums to the cellars of Burgundy, from the Marquesas Islands to Manhattan’s skyscrapers, François-Henri Désérable’s Le Palais is a great adventure novel about wine, and a portrait of a lawless genius whose crimes are savored.
