The Taste of Words, Françoise Héritier

?After The Salt of Life, Françoise Héritier continues her intimate and sensual exploration of what gives life its flavor. She invites us to rediscover our childhood wonder, when the discovery of words, through their brilliance, their silkiness, their roughness, was akin to that of nature and jams. Through words, she invites us to rediscover the hidden treasure established within us between sounds, colors, flavors, touches, perceptions, and emotions. It is up to each of us, in turn, using a few words, to find the richness of the intimate universe we carry within ourselves. Françoise Héritier is an honorary professor at the Collège de France. She was Director of Studies at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales and President of the National AIDS Council. She is notably the author of The Salt of Life, which is a huge international success.
