“She writes that she knows you can frighten men off by cooking for them, but still reckons there is no harm done with a frisky plate of pasta she and the lucky man can gorge on in the middle of the night. She has taken the idea from Nora Ephron’s book Heartburn, she says. The first time a man and a woman spend the night together, after a few hours of lovemaking, spaghetti alla carbonara fits the bill perfectly, and if there’s any left, there’s nothing like working up an appetite. What a dizzying... thought, Telemann thinks. He reads the extract once, twice, he reads it three and four and five times, picking out bits of the text and examining every single statement from several different angles. He deconstructs the text, in fact, just like in his student days, he remembers, but quickly decides that reminiscing must be jettisoned. Reminiscing is theatre, true enough, but it is old-fashioned theatre, out with it. Telemann is drunk. And has just eaten about 30 chocolate caramel crispy cakes that an inner female voice ordered him to make a couple of hours ago.MoreLessRead More Read Less
