David Lyon

A former commercial fisherman, line cook, and adjunct university professor, David Lyon has written about travel, food, art, and popular culture since he decided in the 1980s that he could no longer stand going into an office. He is the co-author with Patricia Harris of more than thirty books that range from travel guides to one volume that plumbs the symbolism and semiotics of food. In addition to books, he and Patricia Harris travel the world--and their home region of New England, for that matter--writing for magazines, newspapers, and web sites about interesting places and people and good things to eat. He is in no way associated with other authors named 'David Lyon" who specialize in national security, maritime history, and 18th century English lit. Patricia Harris and David Lyon live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and make their online home at www.HungryTravelers.com.
