Following a brief biography, Tan explores ecocriticism as a literary strategy and analyzes Kingsolver's early nonfiction book, \u003ci\u003e Holding the Line: Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983, \u003c\/i\u003e as an entry point to her thematic interests. Subsequent chapters attend to Kingsolver's nine novels, including her breakout\u003ci\u003e The Poisonwood Bible\u003c\/i\u003e and the Pulitzer Prize-winning \u003ci\u003eDemon Copperhead\u003c\/i\u003e, and the ways they engage with some of the most important issues of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including postcolonialism and climate change. This book shows how Kingsolver gives her readers the aesthetic tools to begin to see the familiar and the ordinary in a different light, allowing idealism to enrich our everyday lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of South Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47578554400919,"sku":"9781643364773","price":2298.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781643364773.webp?v=1774906411","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/understanding-barbara-kingsolver-9781643364773","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
