FEATURED REVIEW

"With great humor, a love of detail and the kind of curiosity that opens one roomful of questions after another, Brantley's The Perfect Fruit leads us through the history of plums, the San Joaquin Valley, fruit breeding and the deep connections between food and love."

—Susan Salter Reynolds, LA Times

Tyler Cowen Recommends The Perfect Fruit

DateWednesday, September 23, 2009 at 10:24AM

The man does read a lot, but I was still nerdily excited to hear that Tyler Cowen finished and liked The Perfect Fruit. Cowen, a professor of economics at George Mason University and author most recently of Create Your Own Economy, writes often about the effects of technology and globalization on the arts, food and culture. For a good Cowen cross-section, read his thoughtful critique of Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma, watch his talk at Google on the difference between grants and prizes, and listen to his On the Media appearance to discuss Radiohead's release of In Rainbows.
