O&#8217;Brien ed., Dalkey Archive Press 2009 Vol. 19 (1)). Then, when I read the subtitle, I was really curious to know what an &#8221; anti-madeleine&#8221; could be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have to say I wasn&#8217;t really convinced by the premise of this article, as I read it i.e. that Proust mentioned the madeleines because they evoked a positive memory of his childhood to him and since Perec claimed he had no memories of his childhood, then mentions of food in his writing were sparse and therefore negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I read another  &#8216;food and Perec&#8217; article to get another point of view (Jullien, D., 2003.
