From the author of the New York Times best seller Swamplandia! —a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize—a magical new collection of stories that showcases Karen Russell’s gifts at their inimitable best.
A dejected teenager discovers that the universe is communicating with him through talismanic objects left behind in a seagull’s nest. A community of girls held captive in a silk factory slowly transmute into human silkworms, spinning delicate threads from their own bellies, and escape by seizing the means of production for their own revolutionary ends. A massage therapist discovers she has the power to heal by manipulating the tattoos on a war veteran’s lower torso. When a group of boys stumble upon a mutilated scarecrow bearing an uncanny resemblance to the missing classmate they used to torment, an ordinary tale of high school bullying becomes a sinister fantasy of guilt and atonement. In a family’s disastrous quest for land in the American West, the monster is the human hunger for acquisition, and the victim is all we hold dear. And in the collection’s marvelous title story—an unforgettable parable of addiction and appetite, mortal terror and mortal love—two vampires in a sun-drenched lemon grove try helplessly to slake their thirst for blood.
Karen Russell is one of today’s most celebrated and vital writers—honored in The New Yorker ’s list of the twenty best writers under the age of forty, Granta’s Best of Young American Novelists, and the National Book Foundation’s five best writers under the age of thirty-five. Her wondrous new work displays a young writer of superlative originality and invention coming into the full range and scale of her powers.
Karen Russell, a native of Miami, won the 2012 National Magazine Award for fiction, and her first novel, Swamplandia! (2011), was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. She is a graduate of the Columbia MFA program, a 2011 Guggenheim Fellow, and a 2012 Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin. She lives in Philadelphia.
文学意义大于社会意义的一本书,但也可能是我没读懂。Clyde violates the boundary of being a vampire as soon as he steps out under the sunshine and pursues love like mortals. The little girl oversteps the boundaries as well. The female vampire keeps her ordinary life, because she honors her true irreversible identity. All about boundary, reminding me of Parasite.

一年前阅读作者Karen Russell长篇小说《Swamplandia!》的时候,我以为她的想像力来源于她打小生活的美国东南半岛。这位土生土长的迈阿密姑娘将她人生的长篇处女座架构放在佛罗里达外岛的沼泽地。《Swamplandia!》这部生机勃勃不乏鬼魅元素的小说中,POV角色是十来岁的土著小姑...
