Guy Leschziner leads readers through the senses and how, through them, our brain understands or misunderstands the world around us.
What The Reviewers Say
Leschziner...has brought together a collection of exceptionally unusual and interesting stories in his second book, dedicated to the wonder of our senses.
... a deep dive into the world of our senses — one that explores the way they shape our reality and what happens when something malfunctions or functions differently.
Leschziner...uses synaesthetes such as Valeria as striking examples of the way everyone experiences a slightly different form of reality. The verbal gastronome of the book’s title feels tastes and textures alongside sounds.
Stimulating.
