Subha Patel, Kaiser's counterpart at IFF, has journeyed to Kenya and Guangzhou in China. In Southern India, she drew smell samples from cardamom flowers, local tea and fresh red clay. In lieu of bringing back buckets of samples or dead flowers, Patel records her findings chemically. Her primary tool, a solid-phase microextractor, is a $100 penlike device that can record the specific molecules present around anything with a smell. Fennel, cucumber, melon, tomato leaf, black plum and hydroponic celery might soon start to show up as notes in consumer fragrances. Scent notes of Japanese ginger, Indian mango, lantana...

...Like everyone else, I was politicized, or repoliticized, freshly kitted out, by September 11th. I think I wrote Koba really to give myself a political education. In lieu of literary criticism - I find I haven't done much of that at all since Sept. 11th. But I've written almost a sort of book-length amount of journalism, and a couple of stories about September 11th and all that implies, that era beginning then. And the novel I'm working on now has an Islamic theme...
