Barbara Kingsolver is a good writer. I've read some of her shorter
writings but none of her books.

She may not be authentic enough for a James--who is?--but any
motivation she and others can create toward food sustainability is
worthwhile.

Authentic enough for a James? That brings to mind a question I have had for some time that maybe James (or some other student of the old south) can answer.
I saw the movie "Ride With The Devil", (1860-65, Missouri - Kansas guerilla war) and really wondered about the speech patterns, not the accents but how they put their sentences together.
Anyway if you saw the movie (it's out on DVD) and had an opinion on the way they talked I'd be interested in hearing about it.
FWIW I liked the movie...
