Issue 30. November 2012 : KATRINA GRIGG-SAITO Assailing Otherness

from The Drum: A Literary Magazine For Your Ears · host The Drum Literary Magazine

In "Assailing Otherness," Katrina Grigg-Saito confronts the ultimate food taboo and survives to tell the tale.  Grigg-Saito's essay explores the limits different cultures draw around what's approved and what's beyond the pale. Her experience of learning to cook in Laos begins with the desire to get to the heart of a culture and ends with a discovery about her own assumptions and willingness to set them aside.
