Read customer reviews on Small Wonder: Essays
28/02/2011
Small Wonder, Barbara Kingsolvers second book of essays, was written after the events of 9/11, and touches on subjects as diverse as Terrorism, why the world doesnt like America, Genetic Modification, Teenagers, Mothers, and Self-Sustainability. While I may not have agreed with every single word of the essays, on the whole, I found Kingsolvers to be the Voice of Reason. As with her previous book of essays, High Tide in Tucson, there were some aspects that avid readers of Kingsolvers novels would have found reflected there. The essays are interesting and thought-provoking. The essay on Genetic Modification is particularly succinct. I would recommend this book, not just to Kingsolver fans, but to anyone who wants to read a reasonable point of view.
