As a girl growing up in a small town, Barbara Kingsolver haunted a tiny library and became enchanted with "the secret world of books," but never imagined that "I could write a book myself."
Now a bestselling novelist and nonfiction writer, Kingsolver appeared at a Talking Volumes event Nov. 11, and talked about, among other things, the creation of her newest novel, "The Lacuna."
Referring to the writer's life, she said, "What wonderful good luck that I get to make stuff up for a living! And that I get to wear fuzzy slippers to work."
