"The world blurred, the April trees lit up with pale green flames, scenes flashed by, falling water, swinging bridges strung across rocky ravines. Windows wide open, the full breath of Spring of dirt of new life stirring in the breast of whatever was left for dead, all that rushed at us now."

Who is excited for stunning cover designs? Last week @faberbooks published this gorgeous edition to celebrate the 18th birthday of Barbara Kingsolver’s modern classic, THE POISONWOOD BIBLE. It is the story of an evangelical baptist and his family, set in Belgian Congo. I am excited beyond limits because this was a book on my TBR. How nicer is it to have the #poisonwood18 edition with such a striking cover on my monstrous #readinglist ? - - The cover design for the anniversary edition is created by Tina Lobondi, a fashion designer, who has incorporated her experience of growing up in the Congo. - - Isn’t that book a beauty? Have you read this book? Is it on your TBR? - - PS: I am secretly glad that the cover goes so well with my coasters😍 . . . #thepoisonwoodbible #barbarakingsolver #coffee #aestheticfeed

Barbara Kingsolver on Channeling Dickens’s Ghost While Writing Demon Copperhead and Unearthing Appalachian Truths

In this insightful feature, acclaimed author Barbara Kingsolver reveals how the spirit of Charles Dickens helped guide her as she crafted her Pulitzer Prize–winning novel Demon Copperhead. Drawing inspiration from Dickens’s David Copperfield, Kingsolver spent time at the author’s old writing desk and found the courage to transpose timeless themes of hardship, resilience, and compassion into a modern Appalachian setting. Demon Copperhead follows a young boy struggling with poverty, addiction, and systemic neglect in rural America, mirroring Dickens’s own exploration of 19th‑century social injustice. Through her vivid storytelling and deep connection to place, Kingsolver sheds light on today’s opioid crisis and rural suffering while honoring the enduring power of narrative to evoke empathy and change.

Responses to my columns are appreciated

After years of writing for the ABJ, I remain unable to predict which pieces will elicit readers to reach out (except for columns about local politics, which trigger a barrage of responses). When I expect to spend my Sunday afternoon responding to emails, I receive only a handful. Other times, such as after my last column on the joys of a cold and snowy January, unanticipated messages fill my…

Barbara Kingsolver Delivers Modern Version Of Old Classic

First of all, Pulitzer Prize-winner Barbara Kingsolver’s new novel Demon Copperhead is not about a snake as the title would suggest. It’s a modern interpretation of Charles Dickens’s David Copperfield retold about a drug-addicted teenage boy. His name is a riff on his first name, Damon, and his distinctive red hair. What shocked me most about this amazing book is how different this story is from…
