Barbara Kingsolver’s new novel came out last week, and as far as I know, no one here at Lemuria has started reading it yet. However, I think we are all quite curious about it so I am including the link to this article and audio interview I ran across on NPR this morning.
In the article, Kingsolver shares the reason why she is moving back to Virginia after living in Arizona for many years. Also, she elaborates on the theme of living with a “split psyche,” which also figures into her new novel. Wondering what the title is all about it? Kingsolver explains that “the title of the book has several layers of meaning. It refers to a tunnel that leads from one place to another, as well as to the missing part of a story” (Lynn Neary at NPR).
If anybody is reading The Lacuna, send us a comment and let us know what you think!
