#x27;Demon Copperhead' Tackles Opioids, Poverty and Resilience in Appalachia: Novelist Barbara Kingsolver loves living in the Appalachian hills of southwestern Virginia. But she says she feels that the region is often misconstrued by mainstream media. Her new book, Demon Copperhead, follows a young boy grappling with the consequences of loss, addiction and poverty - but also finding ways to survive through creativity and imagination. Kingsolver speaks with Here and Now's Scott Tong about the Dickensian influences in the novel, the divide between urban and rural, and the idea that "the middle of nowhere is relative."
