Robin K. (bashevis) reviewed on 6/22/2011 + 3 more book reviews

A co-worker recommended this book to me many years ago. I recommended it to my book club at one point and have re-read it more than once. I have often thought that our sense of smell gets sort-shrifted and have wondered if, in fact, it plays a predominant role in our perception of other people and events. Suskind presents that theory thrillingly, I think--and provides a wealth of information about the perfume industry in Paris of old as a bonus.
