{"product_id":"book-diuz","title":"Be My Guest","description":"\u003cb\u003eA thought-provoking meditation on food, family, identity, immigration, and, most of all, hospitality--at the table and beyond--that's part food memoir, part appeal for more authentic decency in our daily worlds, and in the world at large.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBe My Guest \u003c\/i\u003eis an utterly unique, deeply personal meditation on what it means to tend to others and to ourselves--and how the two things work hand in hand. Priya Basil explores how food--and the act of offering food to others--are used to express love and support. Weaving together stories from her own life with knowledge gleaned from her Sikh heritage; her years spent in Kenya, India, Britain, and Germany; and ideas from Derrida, Plato, Arendt, and Peter Singer, Basil focuses an unexpected and illuminating light on what it means to be both a host and a guest. Lively, wide-ranging, and impassioned, \u003ci\u003eBe My Guest\u003c\/i\u003e is a singular work, at once a deeply felt plea for a kinder, more welcoming world and a reminder that, fundamentally, we all have more in common than we imagine.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49326560837936,"sku":"BDdiuz","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/381068-diuz-Square.jpg?v=1733638986","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-diuz","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
