The author’s fascination with the idea of welcoming insects to the table is evident in her expressive and well-paced narration. Her audiobook takes an anthropological and historical perspective on entomophagy—the eating of insects—and explores its practice in modern times as well as its implications for staving off world hunger in the face of climate change and dwindling resources. She’s clearly comfortable behind the mic, and her enthusiasm for exploring the many tastes and textures of edible insects is contagious. Overall, Martin argues that entomophagy is key to providing low-fat, high-quality protein to large numbers of people with minimal environmental cost. Fried crickets, anyone?
