Michael Pollan Interview: On Bookshelves Near You

Category: The Book Building
Posted on: April 2, 2007 4:25 PM, by Benjamin Cohen

The Michael Pollan interview I did for The Believer is at long last on booksehelves at fine retailers near you. For those not familiar with that publication, it was recently nominated for two National Magazine Awards, was last year nominated for a few, and will next year be nominatd for some. It's run out of San Fransisco, a monthly cultural and literary periodical edited by the writers Heidi Julavits, Ed Park, and Vendela Vida. Although called "The Believer," it has no religious bent. They've been gracious enough to publish two prior interviews of mine as well (on Darwin, on Sex and Monsters).

I've made elusive reference either to this always "forthcoming" interview or to Pollan's work more generally in a few prior posts, and was hoping I could link to the full text of the piece come April. Well, now it's April. I'm glad to say the interview is out, looks good, and will hopefully find an audience. But I can only link you to the Table of Contents of the magazine and the little blurb they offer at the site (which was taken from the middle of the interview).

Run, don't walk, to the local independent bookstore, and snatch up a copy before they're all gone. (That is to say, before my parents buy all the copies.) Or go here.
