World Hum is celebrating its eighth anniversary this week, and in doing so it has been featuring best-of lists from the site’s history. I’m thrilled that they chose my essay, “The Dogs of Pohnpei,” which originally appeared on the site in January of 2008, as one of their “Eight Great Travel Stories About Food.” (The food in the piece, if you’re wondering, is dog meat. While some don’t consider dog meat to be food, others do. This is an issue the piece explores.) Thank you, World Hum.
