I am going to be adding a section on the Melanie Neilson/Barbara Kingsolver plagiarism case and, when I have time, will begin a Melanie Neilson stub. I am having trouble finding full biographical material on Ms. Neilson, however, and will appreciate any help I can get.
Kingsolver fan here! I edited the biographical information a bit to make it more encyclopedic without (I hope) removing any important info. I also added the natural world/biology as a theme; several reviewers mention it, most obviously in Prodigal Summer but also in some of her other writing. Fionah13:31, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
I edited the text on Kingsolver's themes. It stated that one of the character could be identified with a preditory jackel. The animal in question was a coyote. Shongzah 03:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
"Speaking of Faith" interview
Ms Kingsolver was just featured on "Speaking of Faith", discussing " Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life." Might want a link to that on this page... Soltera 18:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Hotchkiss School
I am reverting "She is currently the poet-in-residence at the Hotchkiss School", added 03:53, 27 September 2009, diff. The editor is a sometimes disruptive I.P. at that school, User talk:204.60.103.130. The current poet-in-residence is Susan Kinsolving, see Hotchkiss Directory page. -Colfer2(talk) 14:24, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Baking?
It says:
Kingsolver has said, "If we can't, as artists, improve on real life, we should put down our pencils and go bake bread."
but the entry doesn't tell where she bakes. Does she run her own bakery, work for a baker, or just bake at home? 71.203.125.108 (talk) 23:36, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- I think that in this context, by "go bake bread" she means do something that's useful. I don't think she actually mean bake bread; from reading Animal Vegetable Miracle, it's clear that her husband does more bread baking than she. Jhfortier (talk) 23:48, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
