Geography and Meaning: Mixing It Up in Ozeki's My Year of Meats

Panel: 
Food and Culture I: Between Local Identities and Transnational Perspectives
Abstract: 

My Year of Meats combines road-story and muckraking journalism. In it, a film crew crosses the U.S. looking for “authentic” food and “wholesome” housewives. I explore the novel's structural parallels to the local/global economy and the modern context of food consumption and production.
