The high-brow nature of these accomplishments may induce images of a distant, elitist and exclusive version of literature for the world of academia. In May of 2019, Russell released a collection of short stories titled “Orange World and Other Stories.” The eight stories inside its neon orange book covers brim with wit, with outlandish delight, with fury and with intention. In the years after this impressive debut, she received both a MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellowship. Swamplandia!, her 2011 debut novel, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. After spending undergraduate years at Northwestern, Russell received her MFA at Columbia University.
Karen Russell is an outstanding force in the modern literary scene.
