Food Author Trevor Corson to Speak Nov. 5
Best-selling author and “sushi concierge” Trevor Corson will speak at Guilford College on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at 7:30 p.m. in Joseph Bryan Jr. Auditorium, located in the Frank Family Science Center. The program, “Steamy Lobsters, Succulent Sushi: How Can We Save the Seas through Sex?,” is free and open to the public.
Corson spent two years studying philosophy in China, another three years in Japan living in temples and studying Buddhism and two more years working as a commercial fisherman off the Maine coast before becoming a bestselling author. His second book, The Story of Sushi: An Unlikely Saga of Raw Fish and Rice (titled The Zen of Fish in hardcover), was selected as an Editors’ Choice by the New York Times Book Review. It also won “Best American Food Literature Book” of 2007 in the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards and was selected as a Best Food Book of the Year by Zagat.
Corson and his work have been featured on CBS Sunday Morning, ABC World News with Charles Gibson, NPR’s All Things Considered and Talk of the Nation, as well as numerous local television and radio programs. He appears on the Food Network’s Iron Chef America. He lives in New York City.
