A beast beautifully tamed
IN November 2007, Barbara Kingsolver discovered an inaccuracy on her Wikipedia page. It said that a new book by the author was due at the end of the month. Kingsolver almost had a nervous breakdown.
“I screamed and I cried and I lay on the floor,” says the 55-year-old when we meet on her first visit to Dublin. “I thought, ‘now my readers are expecting a book and I can’t possibly write it’.”
