520    "How a literary idol of the Lost Generation launched 
       America's organic and sustainable food movement. In 
       interwar France, Louis Bromfield was equally famous as a 
       writer and as a gardener. He pruned dahlias with Edith 
       Wharton, weeded Gertrude Stein's vegetable patch, and fed 
       the starving artists who flocked to his farmhouse outside 
       Paris. His best-selling novels earned him a Pulitzer-and 
       the jealousy of friends like Ernest Hemingway. But his 
       radical approach to the soil has aged better than his 
       books, inspiring a wave of farmers, foodies, and chefs to 
       rethink how they should grow and consume their food. In 
       1938, Bromfield returned to his native Ohio, an expat 
       novelist now reinvented as the squire of 1,000-acre 
       Malabar Farm. Transplanting ideas from India and Europe, 
       he created a mecca for forward- thinking agriculturalists 
       and a rural retreat for celebrities like Humphrey Bogart 
       and Lauren Bacall (who were married there in 1945). 
       Bromfield's untold story is a fascinating history of 
       people and places-and of deep-rooted concerns about the 
       environment and its ability to sustain our most basic 
       needs and pleasures"--|cProvided by publisher.
