Pork Memoirs
In 2011, I launched Pork Memoirs, a literary site about pork and identity. Writers from around the world submitted memoirs about their relationship to the other white meat. In some cases, writers wrestled with the longstanding taboo, and in others, inexplicable love and adoration for pork products led to surreal experiences. The site remains an archive.
