Helen Schulman: Powell's Q&A: Helen Schulman, author of 'Lucky Dogs' (0 comment)
Describe your latest book. I felt like I was on fire the whole time I was writing Lucky Dogs, even when I was downed by long-haul Covid. The book was fueled by all the breaking articles about high-powered men using their considerable resources to get away with sexual abuse on a massive scale...

    The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan
    Laura Nugent, January 07, 2010
    Michael Pollan introduces a large amount of important and interesting information in a very accessible book, using the storyline and history of four meals to increase Americans' awareness of the food we eat.

    Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver
    Laura Nugent, January 07, 2010
    I was skeptical about this book from Barbara Kinsolver, since it seemed to depart from her usual subject matter, but she treated this subject with as much knowledge and care as she has her other books. The story is engaging, the characters lovable and interesting, and as with her other works, I found myself learning about a new subject with such ease that I was surprised at the amount of information she was able to convey. And as with all of Barbara Kingsolver's books, I have so come to love the characters, that I wish the story could just continue.

    Laura Nugent, November 13, 2007
    Literally laugh out loud. I don't know that I've ever laughed so hard reading a book, or been able to read whole sections aloud for an entire bus load of people to enjoy.

    Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver
    Laura Nugent, November 13, 2007
    One of the best explanations of ecology that even someone who doesn't like biology can understand, appreciate, and apply to her own life.
