Sushi

I just read a New York Times review, How Sushi Conquered the World, describing two brand-new books on sushi:

• THE ZEN OF FISH: The Story of Sushi, From Samurai to Supermarket by Trevor Corson and
• THE SUSHI ECONOMY: Globalization and the Making of a Modern Delicacy by Sasha Issenberg.

The first is by the author of The Secret Life of Lobsters, a favorite read of mine. The author has a website for the book, www.ZenOfFish.com And the book sounds as good as his first one. The second book also sounds like a winner. I just bought three new books so it will be a few weeks before I get to buy and read these. Meanwhile, I'll keep eating California rolls whose history is evidently covered in interesting details.
