Episode: FOODTOPIA by Margot Anne Kelley, read by Nicol Zanzarella
Description: Nicol Zanzarella’s crisp narration propels Margot Anne Kelley’s wide-ranging love letter to homegrown food. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss how Zanzarella performs this examination of the historical impulse to live off the land. Kelley looks back at utopian foodways, from failed 19th-century experiments to 20th-century back-to-the-land hippies to current rural escapees. She captures the yearning for self sufficiency, explores challenges for African American farmers, and reflects on the omnipresence of big agriculture.Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website.
