In these ten glittering stories, debut author Karen Russell takes us to the ghostly and magical swamps of the Florida Everglades. Here wolf-like girls are reformed by nuns, a family makes their living wrestling alligators in a theme park, and little girls sail away on crab shells. Filled with stunning inventiveness and heart, St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolvesintroduces a radiant new writer.
!1: Best Buy I was recommended this book by a professor in my MFA program because of my appreciation of George Saunders and some of the work I turned in bordered on the post-modernist style. While Karen Russell's collection is a bit more tame in comparison with authors like Saunders, it is equally absurdist and extremely enjoyable to read. I found myself breezing through this collection and finishing it only two days. Simply a fantastic collection of stories: easy to read, entertaining, funny, creative, and well written.
I learned a lot about my own writing from St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves, and I firmly believe that Russell has a fresh perspective on story organization as well as well as character development. It isn't often a reader is given the perspective of a pre-teen alligator wrestler who is possessed by the spirit of her real/imagined boyfriend as in the first story in this collection.
I highly recommend St. Lucy's for anyone who is looking for a great book that can be read for either enjoyment or for deeper critical analysis. on Sale!
