In conversation with Literary Director BARBARA LANE



The wildly popular books Cod and Salt showcased Kurlansky's genius for using a single commercial foodstuff as a lens through which to view the world. His latest effort, The Big Oyster, takes on the humble bivalve, sweeping readers from the island hunting ground of the Lenape Indians to the death of the oyster beds and the rise of America's environmental movement.
