Embark on an epicurean journey across Mexico with a couple captivated by an ingredient steeped in ancient rituals. Meanwhile, a king, precariously balanced on his throne, listens intently to the sounds around him, ever vigilant against the uprising of surrounding conspirators. In three distinct narratives, men desperately seek the beguiling scents of lost women, from a Count at a perfumery to a London drummer navigating a city of spent bodies. “The pleasure of these stories is intense” – Sunday Telegraph In these stories of taste, hearing, and smell, Calvino is dazzling, unnerving, and brilliant.
