As I've mentioned in previous posts, I'm now a huge fan of Barbara Kingsolver and am so happy to have been exposed to the locavore movement after reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I haven't gotten to the point of stalking Ms. Kingsolver, but can't help but find more information about her most recent book. I find myself re-reading portions of this book and wanting more.
Tonight the Fireside Readers Book Discussion Group will be discussing the book. There are many links to information about this book:
Kingsolver discusses the book in a radio segment, "The Ethics of Eating," from NPR's Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippett. (Thanks, Joyce, for forwarding this link to me, this was fantastic!)
I've also found a link to a recent commencement speech by Barbara Kingsolver. Her 2008 Commencement Address at Duke University doesn't offer any new insight into the book, but I found it to relate in some ways...
Finally, the publisher offers a reading group guide, in addition to the vast amount of information offered on the author's book website.
