“Sweetness #9 does for
flavor science and its sweetly
dangerous concoctions what White
Noise did for chemical
transportation and airborne toxic
events — that is, makes them real
enough to produce legitimate
anxiety and funny enough to make
you fall off the couch.”
—Keith Lee Morris,
author of The Dart League King
Sweetness #9 is that rare thing: an intelligent page-turner. Read this book for its whip-smart prose, its thoughtful characters, and its sharp observations about the synthetic (and authentic) aspects of modern life.” —Karl Iagnemma, author of On the Nature of Human Romantic Interaction
