Would extensive descriptions of foods and feasts be welcomed in fantasy? I've been cooking a lot recently and I feel like I could sell a book that focused on the food as much as the gore.

A Perfect Day for Bananafish - Salinger
The Dead - Joyce
Forever Overhead - Wallace
Babylon Revisited - Fitzgerald
A Day's Wait - Hemingway
Cathedral - Carver

I strongly recommend these short story collections:
Nine Stories - Salinger
Dubliners - Joyce
Nearly all of Hemingway. Nearly all of Carver.

Stay away from Updike, Cheever, the rest of Wallace (maybe, he has a few other ones that are ok), and the rest of Fitzgerald. Consider all of Poe and all of Kafka because tis the season.

I didnt like Chekhov but I am not sure why.
