What did you think of this episode?
In this continuation of the Barbara Kingsolver episodes, the eastern Kentucky native gives her last talk on her novel, Demon Copperhead on the campus of The University of Virginia's College at Wise, following our discussion in Part I. She reads from the opening scene of the novel; talks about the places that inspired her in Lee County, Virginia (my home county and the setting for the book); expands on her extensive research process and how she found Demon's voice; and discusses the nonprofit she's co-founding in Lee County for women in recovery. Later, she talks about her writing process, what she's reading now, and what it was like to find out she had won the Pulitzer Prize.
