In C Pam Zhang’s novel, a young chef at the end of the world sacrifices everything to cook for a secretive billionaire with a god complex.
The young chef arrives at an elaborately appointed restaurant built on a cliff high above the acidic smog line. “I felt a euphoria such as the first European colonizers must have upon sighting new land,” she says. There’s no one here, but she finds a box containing flour, vanilla, eggs and fresh strawberries “as yielding as a woman’s inner thigh.” Inside is a note: “She soon learns that she’s working for an implacable, pitiless man with dead shark eyes.
The chef’s only companion in this tightly sealed, top-secret community of wealthy survivalists is her boss’s beautiful daughter, Aida, who could be a distant relation to “Rappaccini’s Daughter.” Aida is a brilliant geneticist with an erratic personality, alternately imperious and childlike.
