Reviews

Beautifully written and full of profound ideas, Eating the Ocean engages the reader and surprises her at many turns. Elspeth Probyn complicates the current work being done on food politics, making this an urgent and necessary book for scholars of food studies, environmental culture, the materialist turn, consumer culture, and gender. -- Sarah Sharma, author of In the Meantime: Temporality and Cultural Politics Once again Elspeth Probyn charts a contemporary site of contested encounters with style, humor, erudition and wit. Moving on, through, and under the waves she provides a timely guide to eating the oceans more ethically by cultivating a metabolic sensibility more responsive to our entanglements with aquatic worlds. -- Sarah Franklin, author of Biological Relatives: IVF, Stem Cells, and the Future of Kinship
