Live Video Chat with Barbara Kingsolver

[Sara]

q I notice that all the questions I wanted to pose have been asked. I just wanted to thank you for reading your audiobooks. I feel that my experience with Prodigal Summer, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and Flight Behavior was that much more intense because of that. As a crazy busy working mom I so cherish listening to such outlook changing books.

Barbara - I first read you, The Bean Trees, as it was chosen as the final exam topic for my university freshman composition class. You even came and spoke to our class to help us collectively prepare for the final. You've been a favorite author of mine ever since and I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful work you have produced over the years, especially La Lacuna!

Really enjoyed the interview, can you make sure that Barbara's reading recommendations are posted on goodreads?

[Paula]

The first book I read of yours was The Prodigal Summer. Next I read The Poison Wood Bible. Both were wonderful!

[Rhonda]

I love all your writing. I think my favorite novel was Prodigal Summer, and Small World and High Tide in Tucson are wonderful to me!! But thank you for expressing all of the important insights that you do!

I am so looking forward to reading Flight Behavior. It sounds like it captures the real problem of denial in our world. It is so important I think to understand where people are coming from so we don't give up. Barbara always makes me feel hopeful about the human condition no matter what. Glad she is in the world with me during these trying times when hope is needed.
