“If a
novel takes place between eight square blocks of Manhattan, it's universal. And
if it happens in Kentucky, it's regional."—Kentucky native and Pulitzer
Prize-winning American novelist, poet, and essayist Barbara Kingsolver (The
Poisonwood Bible), quoted by Madison Darbyshire, “Lunch With the FT:
Barbara Kingsolver; ‘Everyone Has Friends Impacted by the Opioid Crisis,’” The
Financial Times, Jan. 7-8, 2023
