Where Hunger Waits - Glory Cabilete
Where Hunger Waits is a collection of stories that serve meals to the table. It contains fictional narratives about the role and significance of food in confining the value of human lives, especially in relationships with family, friends, and loved ones or even beyond what is seen on and below the surface of the table.
Food is something I wouldn't necessarily call art; it's just something that happens to be the most important part of experiencing art. The most appropriate thing I could call it is a memoir condensed in every taste. Every ingredient, down to the last bit of spice, tells a story. Every flavor imaginable tells a history of a cultural identity constantly changing in a world where boundaries are becoming lesser. Yet, the drive for individual expression remains stronger than ever. Where Hunger Waits takes you for a ride of something that takes the experience of food and making something out of it that is in equal parts fascinating and, in some cases, terrify you in how far it can go, and yet, the magic of what comes of the first bite of every unforgettable meal remains the focal point in every story to be told. It is a full-blown course where what you taste is what you see. You will never know what to expect at the turn of every page, but like the taste of a new dish that will leave you dazed, the desire for something more will keep you going.
