From the Pulitzer Finalist and universally beloved author of the New York Times best sellers Swamplandia! and Vampires in the Lemon Grove, a stunning new collection of short fiction that showcases Karen Russell’s extraordinary, irresistible gifts of language and imagination. Karen Russell’s comedic genius and mesmerizing talent for creating outlandish predicaments that uncannily mirror our inner in lives is on full display in these eight exuberant, arrestingly vivid, unforgettable stories. In“Bog Girl”, a revelatory story about first love, a young man falls in love with a two thousand year old girl that he’s extracted from a mass of peat in a Northern European bog. In “The Prospectors,” two opportunistic young women fleeing the depression strike out for new territory, and find themselves fighting for their lives. In the brilliant, hilarious title story, a new mother desperate to ensure her infant’s safety strikes a diabolical deal, agreeing to breastfeed the devil in exchange for his protection. The landscape in which these stories unfold is a feral, slippery, purgatorial space, bracketed by the void—yet within it Russell captures the exquisite beauty and tenderness of ordinary life. Orange World is a miracle of storytelling from a true modern master.

The Lupus Kid and Other Stories For a year Bob Wendell recorded the path his life took through illness and despair. He was alive and grateful for that much. But the turn his relationship would take, and the downfall of those around him, made Wendell question the very meaning of his existence. Set under the gray skies of the Pacific Northwest, The Lupus Kid and Other Stories gives more than insight into life with chronic illness; it provides a glimpse into the human condition and the struggle to maintain dignity and hope. And that while hope doesn't come easily, it is sometimes found in the most unlikely places. "But tomorrow comes and even as agonizingly slowly as the days pass, they nonetheless do. And whether you're having the time of your life, or the hell of your life, they pass in a collective whole and are gone, irretrievably so." From The Lupus Kid and Other Stories
