{"product_id":"9781623560317","title":"Barbara Kingsolver's World: Nature, Art, and the Twenty-First Century","description":"Since Barbara Kingsolver published \u003ci\u003eThe Bean Trees\u003c\/i\u003e in 1988, her work has been of great interest to readers-first, American readers; then British and South African readers; and finally to readers the world over. With incredible speed, Kingsolver became one of the best-known United States writers, a person who collected honors and awards as if she were a much more mature literary producer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the beginning Kingsolver touched an elbow of keen interest in her readers: hers was the voice of world awareness, a conscientious voice that demanded attention for the narratives of the disadvantaged, the politically troubled, the humanly silenced.  By paying special attention to her non-fiction (essays and books), this new study by renowned literary critic Linda Wagner-Martin highlights the way Kingsolver has become a kind of public intellectual, particularly in the 21st century. It provides fresh readings of each of her novels, stories, and poems.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134511202544,"sku":"9781623560317","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781623560317_p0.jpg?v=1763866921","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781623560317","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
