Cooke, Carolyn | November 26, 1990 issue

The article presents information on the book "Animal Dreams," by Barbara Kingsolver. Arizona is exotic as the Amazon in "Animal Dreams," Kingsolver's second novel and third work of fiction. Just as Willa Cather's hard-baked plains reflect images of corn bent like the backs of so many yellow-haired Norwegians, so is "Animal Dreams" an elaborate equation between the vibrant landscape and its peoples, the Native Americans whose gentle hands have shaped and lent a rhythm to the land and the later immigrants whose Spanish names Kingsolver slathers on her prose like guacamole on a taco.
