Witty, but a bit contrived I think. Perhaps the book has more to say, but I was not convinced by the suggested Freudian interpretation.
Another example of a writer with a good sense of smell I think is John Steinbeck, whose first few paragraphs in Cannery Row is a marvel of the literary whiff, even without much description of the smells themselves. [1]
