Michael Pollan

Forfatterbiografi

Michael Pollan (født 1955) er en amerikansk journalist og forfatter, kendt for at skrive om skæringspunktet mellem menneskets kultur og naturen, blandt andet på tallerkenen og i landbrug og havebrug. Hans værker forbinder naturhistorie, essayistik og formidling af sundhed, mad og miljø, og han har gennem mere end tredive år publiceret bøger og artikler, der undersøger, hvordan processer i naturen bliver til mad, vaner og erkendelser. Pollan har været bidragyder til New York Times Magazine siden 1987 og har modtaget en række priser og anerkendelser, herunder James Beard Award for best magazine series (2003), John Burroughs-prisen (1997), Reuters-I.U.C.N. Global Award for Environmental Journalism (2000) og Humane Societys Genesis Award (2003). Hans gennembrud og internationale gennemslagskraft ses også i, at flere af hans bøger er blevet til tv-formater. I “Kochen – Eine Naturgeschichte der Transformation” (tysk titel; ISBN 9783956140877) undersøger Pollan madlavning som en transformation, hvor klassiske elementer og mikroorganismer indgår i en naturhistorisk fortælling om smag og tilblivelse. Betydningen for litteraturen ligger især i hans evne til at gøre faktuel viden læselig og engagerende, så læseren får en bredere forståelse af madens biologi og kulturens rammer. Blandt hans kendte bøger er “The Omnivore’s Dilemma”, “In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto” og “Food Rules”.
