Swamplandia by Karen Russell.. To look at her picture, you would not think this young novelist could wrestle alligators, but she lassos a good yarn. Nothing beats the allure of a failing tourist trap for a setting, but Russell raises the stakes with charming misfits for a full house. – Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor |

"Russell’s first novel is a wild ride of a performance.." – National Post "The novel packs a genuine punch.." – The Telegraph |
