All Over Creation
|
"Ruth Ozeki is bent on taking the novel into corners of American culture no one else has thought to look - but where she finds us in all our transcultural and technological weirdness. With a combination of humor and pathos that is all her own, Ozeki brings the American pastoral forward into the age of agribusiness and genetic engineering. The result is a smart and compelling novel about a world we don't realize we live in."
-Michael Pollan, author of "The Botany of Desire"

My Year Of Meats
|
"This is a very cool book, satirical but never mean, funny, peopled by fully inhabited characters who are both blind and self-aware. Ruth Ozeki's My Year of Meats reassures us that media and culture, though bound inextricably, will never become one."
- John Sayles, former member, Amalgamated Meat Packers and Butcher Workers of North America; Director of Matewan, Men with Guns, and Sunshine Coast.

"Combining imagined home movies, true stories, tall tales and her own playful nature, Ozeki breaks the rules of documentary filmmaking and is all the better for it."
