Barbara Kingsolverâs novel âDemon Copperhead,â a riff on âDavid Copperfieldâ that moves Charles Dickensâs story to contemporary Appalachia and grapples engagingly with topics from poverty to ambition to opioid addiction, was one of the Book Reviewâs 10 Best Books of 2022. And â unlike an actual copperhead â âDemon Copperheadâ has legs: Many readers have told us it was their favorite book in 2023 as well. In this weekâs spoiler-filled episode, MJ Franklin talks with Elisabeth Egan (an editor at the Book Review) and Anna Dubenko, the Timesâs newsroom audience director, about their reactions to Kingsolverâs novel and why it has exerted such a lasting appeal.
