It might have been predicted that my guest today would become enchanted with the sea. As a young boy, while spending summers on an island off the idyllic coast of Maine, Trevor Corson, was surrounded by beautiful clean, cold waters – the perfect habitat for oysters, shrimp, mussels, scallops, fish and of course the famous Maine lobsters.

Today he is the author of two highly acclaimed books – including The Story of Sushi – and his first book, which is a narrative NON-fiction but reads like a novel - which we’ll talk about today: The Secret Life of Lobsters, a book that was named the Best Nature Book of the Year on its release.
