Michael Pollan [1] speaks at Oberlin [2] this fall!
Author of In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto [3], The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals [4], The Botany of Desire [5]; Second Nature [6]; and A Place of My Own [7].
Worth the drive - especially if we carpool! It's free. Let's go early and see the Allen Memorial Art Museum [8] and eat at Weia Teia [9].
