Voelen Ruiken Proeven

What would it be like to lick a tennis ball? You've probably never thought about it before, but now you can't get the image out of your mind? Precisely in that borderline between disgust and curiosity lies the magic of a trio of forgotten senses: touch, smell, and taste. These are senses often wrongly considered inferior, yet these sensations are precisely what connect us most deeply to the world. Frank Bloem follows his nose, tongue, and skin on a sensory quest full of olfactory memories, inexplicable preferences, and scientific surprises. With humor and wonder, he shows that these so-called "lower" senses not only give color and direction to our existence, but sometimes also (literally) bring us closer together.
