"Dark Fruit: A Cultural and Personal History of the Plum" in Los Angeles Review of Books

plums2I'm thrilled to have my essay "Dark Fruit: A Cultural and Personal History of the Plum" appear in the Los Angeles Review of Books today. It collages personal stories with discussions of Tolstoy, Herta Müller, Gregor von Rezzori, ancient Chinese poetry, visual art, horticulture, superstitions, and more. I'm grateful it found a home in such a fine venue!D12091.jpg
