A self-styled fermentation revivalist, Sandor Katz connects modern farm activists and back-to-the-land hippies through a
commitment to preservation and craft. A onetime policy wonk, Katz left New York City in 1993 for rural Cannon County,
Tennessee, where he mentors artisans and cooks. Katz, who lives with AIDS and considers fermented foods to be part of
his healing, has written four books (including The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved and The Art of Fermentation) that
are manifestos for a new generation of activists. In the process, he’s rendered fermentation a radical act.
