Proving up karen russell summary
Orange World reads like a love letter to those who crave magic it’s an ode to the weird. Balancing the bizarre with human authenticity, the collection captures us as we truly are-damaged, complicated, and even a little hopeful. With her latest collection, Orange World, she’s at the top of her game. Swamplandia!, Vampires in the Lemon Grove, and Sleep Donation only added to my sincere appreciation of Russell’s writing. They taught me about guilt, love, loss, and, mostly, what home was-and could (and can) be. Those fantastic stories took me to worlds I hadn’t yet known. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves, opened my eyes, as a budding college student, to the wondrous world of magical realism. Pulitzer finalist Karen Russell is a writer whose work has truly and deeply impacted my life.
