Author

Karen Russell is an acclaimed American author known for her wildly inventive, genre-defying fiction. She was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, a National Magazine Award winner, and a MacArthur Fellowship recipient, establishing her as one of the most original voices in contemporary American literature. The Antidote... showcases Russell's extraordinary imagination and her ability to blend the surreal with the deeply human. Her fiction inhabits a space between literary realism and speculative fantasy, creating worlds where the impossible feels inevitable and the strange reveals unexpected emotional truths. Russell's audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers fiction that is unlike anything else being written today. Her earlier works include Swamplandia!, St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves, and Vampires in the Lemon Grove. She is a writer for readers who love language, surprise, and stories that refuse to stay inside conventional boundaries. Read more Show less
