Tom Mueller’s writing has appeared in The New Yorker, National Geographic, New York Times Magazine, and Atlantic. He is the author of the New York Times best-selling Extra Virginity about food fraud, and Crisis of Conscience on whistleblowers and their enemies.
"Starred review. Engrossing history, vivid contemporary reporting and a cogent call to action, expertly blended in an illuminating text." -- Kirkus Reviews "The New Yorker writer does for his subject what Susan Orlean did for orchids." -- Columbus Dispatch "... [Extra-Virginity] does for olive oil what Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation did for hamburgers. Mueller traces the history of this valuable product from antiquity to the present, but the really disturbing part is his expose of the inferior quality control and outright fraud among today's' oil producers." -- Hollywood Reporter "How long have readers been waiting for a book like this? A century? A millennium? Finally, the earth's most poetic food has found its storyteller. Essential, smart, and ridiculously overdue." -- Bill Buford, author of Heat
