Trust her, it's important
Article Abstract:
Novelist Barbara Kingsolver finds it hard to believe that her latest novel, 'The Poisonwood Bible,' has been so popular. She recognizes that her writing can be challenging, as her characters always encounter significant difficulties. She feels that her novels are about survival, rather than manners. She always begins with a theme, and does not feel that she could justify merely putting attractive words together for no clear purpose. She regards fiction as the antidote to apathy.
