Description
Karen Russell writes novels and short fiction that often feature children and teens surviving without the help of adults. These coming of age tales are at turns funny, haunting, and heartwarming in tone. Russell creates a strong sense of place, and the Florida Everglades are a common setting in her work. The mythic quality she invokes when describing these landscapes lends an element of Magical Realism to her writing, but Russell's unique characters and witty, engaging writing style make the reader feel at home in her fantastical world. Start with St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves
