The B&n Podcast

In book after book, bestselling author Barbara Kingsolver brings all the pleasure of a sweeping fictional landscape to novels that engage fearlessly with vexing social issues.  In her new novel Unsheltered, the struggles of a 21st-century family wrestling with potential financial ruin is woven together with the story of their family's fascinating past and a lost Utopian experiment.  Kingsolver joins Miwa Messer to talk about her timely new book, and our urgent need for stories in an age of anxiety.
