Glutton

In 1798 France, a gaunt patient in a Versailles hospital is rumored to have eaten a golden fork, a man known as Tarare, whose insatiable appetite led him to monstrous acts. Born into poverty, Tarare's gentle childhood is violently disrupted, sending him on a chaotic journey through revolutionary France. This disquieting novel reimagines the life of 'The Great Tarare, The Glutton of Lyon,' exploring a world of hunger, desire, and the struggle for survival.
